Frex Thropp
for Frex Thropp in Nessarose: The Weight of Her
Suggested by mr95

Every tragedy needs its own tragedy to explain it. Nessarose Thropp was given the silver shoes. She was given a province to govern. She was given a father who chose her. And she spent every moment of her life knowing that none of it was given freely — it was given instead of love. This film follows Nessarose in parallel timelines: her years at Shiz alongside Elphaba and Glinda, and her years as governor of Munchkinland, constructing a theocracy out of loneliness and dogma. A film about what happens when desperate love becomes law.
