Jack, Nikita and Norma-Jeane

By Playwright Raymond Russell

A surprising Off-Broadway hit in the Greenwich Village Theatre, New York, which premiered in March 1975 and ran for nearly two years. The young British writer’s debut, stunned conservative New Yorkers when it showed President Kennedy (Jack) fighting and making love with Marilyn Monroe (Norma-Jeane) in a motel just outside of Washington DC.

Constantly interrupted by his brother Teddy who was also obsessed with Marilyn and (Nikita) Khrushchev, the Soviet Premier. The plot suggested that Kennedy was too obsessed with Marilyn to make the right decisions, as the Soviet armada headed towards Cuba and World War III.

A sexy, shocking, nail biter, which had naive Americans traumatized until they got home.
