PORT TOWNSEND — Working in collaboration with Seattle director Kerry Skalsky, actress Rosaletta Curry will perform the American premiere of “The Unremarkable Death of Marilyn Monroe” at the Chameleon Theater this weekend.
She will perform today and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $15 and are available through www.brownpapertickets.com or at the theater door, 800 W. Park Ave.
“The Unremarkable Death of Marilyn Monroe” by Elton Townend Jones explores the question of what the actress would say in the hours before her death.
Alone in her bedroom — no glitz, no glamour, no masks — she takes the audience through her memories and the stories of the people she loved the most.
Rosaletta Curry grew up on Marrowstone Island. She trained at Ithaca College in New York and in London, England, where she now lives, completing a master’s in acting at Drama Centre London.
“I fell in love with this play because it is about a real woman and her turbulent quest for love and understanding that I think is very universal and relatable,” Curry said.
“No matter how different our lives may seem to hers on the surface, this play shows us that Marilyn’s story is all of our stories.
“She belongs to us, as we belong to her.”
The play is not recommended for audience members younger than 14.
