Transcript of Video:
Myra Bairstow:  "My play is a complete homage to Frida and I wanted to show the life and the death of Dorothy, the contradictions and history, but I wanted to explore that through the creative process of Frida because for me, personally, she is a liberator of truth."

As Frida begins painting in the room where Dorothy lived, she is haunted by whispers from the past and from Dorothy herself.
