    WAS is the story of Dorothy. Orphaned as a child in the 1870s, she goes to live in Kansas with her Aunty Em and Uncle Henry, who face drought and poverty.

    Alone and abused, Dorothy meets an itinerant actor called Frank and inspires a masterpiece.

    From the settling of the West and the heyday of the Hollywood studios to the glittering megalopolis of modern Los Angeles, WAS is the story of all our childhoods.
