The Last Hour of Marilyn Monroe

The gripping story of the last psychoanalytic session between Dr. Ralph Greenson and America's unforgettable screen icon Marilyn Monroe. What happens after their meeting at her home on 5 August 1962, when hours later Marilyn is found dead? What leads to the tragic outcome? The play by Dr. Vivian Pramataroff-Hamburger and Prof. Andreas Hamburger, built on authentic documents and events, reveals the true, dramatic essence of the great star hidden behind the facade of the seductive blonde millions of Americans desired. Childhood traumas, failed marriages, the cruel mill of the film studios, alcohol and barbiturates, entanglement in the webs of big politics and the dangerous liaisons with the Kennedy brothers bring Marilyn together with the renowned scholar and psychoanalyst Dr. Ralph Greenson, who has his own hidden family drama yet devotedly tries to help the young woman, crossing even the permissible distance in their relationship. A production that looks beyond the glittering facade of the legend and stares into the essence of the unhappy woman Marilyn.
