Marilyn & Ella
Marilyn Monroe idolises Ella Fitzgerald, and plays an important role in the black singer’s career by fixing her a booking at the Los Angeles whites-only club Mocambo, at a time when Fitzgerald longs to be in pictures. Marilyn wants to be taken seriously as an actress; Ella wants the film star’s kind of fame and a life where a black singer on tour can use a proper toilet and not a fly-infested outhouse.
Played 3 Sunday performances only.
