Frida…A Self Portrait

On the last night of Frida Kahlo’s life, viewers of Frida…A Self Portrait are transported to La Casa Azul, the famous Mexican artist’s home. The one-woman production is written and performed by Vanessa Severo, and sees the artist reminisce about her life. Throughout the 75-minute play, Severo connects her own life’s experience to the famed artist’s, and explores Kahlo’s works, addiction, physical limitations and romances. The play is running at Writers Theatre, a non-profit theatre company, in suburban Glencoe.
