The theatre production tells the story from the point of view of Scout, Marilyn Monroe’s lover, they met one night while Marilyn was ‘incognito’ and soon their affair became the highlight of their days. He became her pet companion on set, helping her with lines and secretly providing whiskey from his own mother. Keeping up with Marilyn Monroe was not easy, especially for a 15-year-old virgin like Scout. But years after Marilyn’s death, something unexpected began to unfold, answering all the questions he’s had all these years…
