Frozen by Bryony Lavery
One sunny 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 entitled 'Serial Killing: A Forgivable Act?' Then there's Ralph, a loner with a bit of previous who's looking for some distraction... Drawn together by horrific circumstances, these three embark upon a long dark journey which finally curves upward into the light. Frozen premiered at the Birmingham Rep and was revived at the Royal National Theatre, London in 2002.
