Norma Jeane Baker of Troy is a meditation on the destabilizing and
destructive power of beauty, drawing together Helen of Troy and Marilyn
Monroe, twin avatars of female fascination separated by millennia but
united in mythopoeic force. Norma Jeane Baker was staged in the spring
of 2019 at The Shed's Griffin Theater in New York, starring actor Ben
Whishaw and soprano Renée Fleming and directed by Katie Mitchell.
