The Play Begins
FRANK:
(Facing the camera) Viewers from across the world, I know you're excited as I am. The Interview you've all been waiting for, I'm Frank Web, and sitting with me today is the lovely Wyetta Sims who was gracious enough to invite me into her home. (Turning to her) Wyetta, how are you?
WYETTA:
(Nervously fiddling with her fingers) I'm fine Frank.
FRANK:
How are you coping with it all? (Chuckling nervously) I mean, it appears everywhere you go there's a camera behind you.
WYETTA:
God, it's been so much. It's traumatizing at times you know. But after a while, you do get used to it. (Smiling)
FRANK:
Wyetta, it's been a year since you've escaped the brutal attack which left both husband and child dead. Forgive me, but I just want to jump right into things here. There's been widespread speculations that you killed your husband. After all, Mr. Sims was indeed a wealthy man.
WYETTA:
People say a lot of foolish things, I've seen it all in the press. And that is why I sought the courage to do this interview. I'm here to tell my story for the people to get a better sense of who I am because I'm clearly misunderstood.
