Oberon Modern Plays - Norma Jeane Baker of Troy

Norma Jeane Baker of Troy is a partly spoken, partly sung performance piece by poet, essayist, and scholar Anne Carson, and an exploration of the lives and myths of Marilyn Monroe and Helen of Troy-iconic beauties who lived millennia apart.

A thrilling and thoughtful meditation on the destabilising and destructive power of beauty, it had its world premiere at The Shed in New York City, starring Ben Whishaw and Renée Fleming.
