  • Motorhome Marilyn

    Sat 26 Jul at 7pm
    Tickets £12-£10 (+Booking Fee)
    Michelle Collins stars as a Marilyn Monroe lookalike in a dark comedy about the devastating realities of aging. The play blends dark humour with reflections on unfulfilled dreams.

    Michelle Collins makes her Edinburgh Fringe debut in Motorhome Marilyn, a dark comedy by Ben Weatherill. The play follows Denise, an aspiring actress with an obsessive relationship with Marilyn Monroe, hoping to live up to the icon's fame and beauty. In the 1980s, she heads to Hollywood, but as her dreams falter, she is forced to confront the painful truth of unfulfilled aspirations. Inspired by Michelle's real-life encounter with a woman known as Motorhome Marilyn, the play reveals the toll of living in the shadow of an icon, exploring failure, aging, and the heartbreaking cost of unattained dreams.

    Written by Ben Weatherill after Stewart Permutt.

    Based on an idea by Michelle Collins.

    Directed by Alexandra Spencer Jones
