“Portrait of a Lady” explores a very intriguing monologue, why did you write it?
Well i like watching documentaries and i saw a documentary about the seventeen hundred’s and how all these families inherited these old portraits and i thought, What would it be like if a married women in the 21st century would think about whild getting her portrait done and i wrote the script based on that.
