Sin
In 1955, Marilyn Monroe moves to New York to study acting. Four years after she and Arthur first met in LA, they secretly begin to see each other again. By Jonathan Holloway.
3. Sin
The third of four plays marking the centenary of the great American playwright, Arthur Miller.
Arthur Miller's play 'The Crucible' opened in New York City in January 1953. The reviews were mixed. The parallels with Senator McCarthy's witch hunt for Communists with the House Un-American Activities Committee were obvious. Few realised, however, that it also portrayed Miller's dying marriage to his first wife and college sweetheart, Mary Slattery. One of Marilyn Monroe's New Year resolutions of 1955 was to improve her acting by taking lessons. She moved to New York later that year to study with Lee Strasberg. Four years after she and Arthur had first met on the West Coast, they began to see each other again, in secret. The secret wouldn't be kept for long. By Jonathan Holloway.
