She finds in the afterlife that she must audition and interview to get into heaven and that her judges are her enemies and aborted children
Along the way she is confused and intrigued by the signs she must follow to climb her way into heaven
The play explores the multi-levels of complexity of cult goddess Marilyn Monroe - her vulnerability, anger, and loneliness and the ways that American culture and the worship of beauty and fame shaped, aborted and forwarded her rise to stardom
In the afterlife she relives three painful scenes from her life and a life review and strains to justify her choices to male unsympathetic judges as well as shocking people from her past
The action takes place in the mind of Marilyn on an empty stage with a chair
