Florencia Lozano and Alfredo Narciso have known each other for a looong time. In fact, they've played husband and wife on more than one occasion!

Over tea, Florencia & Alfredo chat with our host, Rachel Lin, about: the role that theater companies like EST and LAByrinth have played in their lives and careers; what it was like to start out in day time TV; and how these two have stayed such good friends over the years.
