THE STORY: One evening ten-year-old Rhona goes missing. Her mother, Nancy, retreats into a state of frozen hope. Agnetha, an American academic, comes to England to research a thesis: "Serial Killing - A Forgivable Act?" Then there's Ralph, a loner who's looking for some distraction. Drawn together by horrific circumstances, these three embark on a long, dark journey which finally curves upward into the light. Angry, humane and compassionate, FROZEN is an extraordinary play that entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims and his psychologist to explore our capacity for forgiveness, remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out entirely.

"[a] fine playso concentrated and unflinching that at times it takes your breath away." - Observer (London). "A major playthrilling, humane and timely." - Times (London). "[a] big, brave, compassionate play about grief, revenge, forgiveness and bearing the unbearable." - Guardian (London). "Consistently surprising and even bravely comicThe almost thriller-like promise of the play's climactic confrontation is like a time-bomb ticking in the back of your head." - Independent (London).
