Cursed is a brand new jazz play written by Italian playwright Argia Coppola, based on the novel Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates, starring Annie Hägg and her band, The High Kicks. In Cursed, Annie portrays the triptych of the iconic Marilyn Monroe, her alter ego Norma Jeane Baker and her mother Gladys. The story also explores her absent father and the men in Monroe’s life through music and text. Cursed is a bold, breathless, tragic and timely play for an actress and a four-man jazz band, in which music becomes a character in and of itself. It’s a unique, fast-paced piece that depicts the life of the Blond Actress as never seen before.
