Alex Finlayson

Alex Finlayson was an American playwright whose work found more success on the English stage than in the United States.

All three plays starred American stage and film actress Lisa Eichhorn and were directed by Greg Hersov.

Finlayson's play Misfits portrays the film's historic box office and artistic failure as the fault of screenwriter Miller, director John Huston, and producer Frank Taylor, and not its star, Marilyn Monroe, who is most often blamed for the film disaster.

Misfits received mixed reviews, with some critics attacking Finlayson for daring to put Miller onstage as a character.
