the renowned swedish author and playwright sara stridsberg, who received the nordic council literature prize in 2007, has written the play kunsten å falle on the two historical female figures. the play is based, among other things, on the cult classic gray gardens, a documentary film from 1975, which shows how the two women, in spite of their isolation and poverty, never let go of the joy of creating and recreating the idea of themselves.
