MISSING MARILYN
&
MARILYN MONROE THE FIVE YEAR ITCH
“Sally Day is uncannily good at assuming her character’s physical mannerisms. She gives a convincing psychological portrait of a vulnerable woman who has reached a crossroads in her life.”
Melanie Branton - Theatreworld Internet Magazine
“...hearty congratulations must go to Sally Day for constructing a very credible performance indeed...She captures the star’s blend of overt sexuality and natural vulnerability superbly...”
Amanda Hodges - London Theatre Guide
“Not many actresses have been able to match Monroe’s ineffable screen presence, but Day, sympathetic and sexy, comes very close.”
Ray Bennett - The Hollywood Reporter
“Sally Day is an impressively accurate Monroe, capturing both her fulsome sexuality and fragile naivety with aplomb.”
Lucy Powell - Time Out
“The best reason for seeing the play is Sally Day's performance.”
Michael Billington - The Guardian

It was the directorial debut of Hollywood actor Jonathan Hyde (The Mummy, Jumanji, Titanic) and transferred to The King's Head, Islington in 2004 for a 6 week run where Andrew Crabb played The Stranger. It later toured and had a second act added which was set 5 years after the first.
