International City Theatre opens its 2024 season with the world premiere of Marilyn, Mom & Me, a deeply personal comic drama written and directed by Luke Yankee. Eileen Heckart, the no-nonsense Broadway actress, and Marilyn Monroe, the glamorous Hollywood legend, developed an enduring bond during the filming of Bus Stop — perhaps the most important film of Monroe’s career. Forty-five years later Yankee, Heckart’s now-middle-aged son, tries to unravel his mother’s relationship with Monroe in order to better understand his own path with this highly critical yet loving woman.
