OUR PERFORMANCE OF 'HERE IN AMERICA'

On a crisp New England afternoon in 1952, the playwright Arthur Miller (Art) travels to the Connecticut home of the greatest stage director of that time, Elia Kazan (Gadge) and his wife (Day). The conversation, haunted by a then unknown actress who the world would soon know as Marilyn Monroe (or as both men have jokingly nicknamed her, “Miss Bauer”) will have ramifications across the theatre world, the world of politics and most importantly, across a friendship that has been years in the making.
