Frozen by Bryony Lavery
ONE OF THE FORTY BEST PLAYS OF ALL TIME, INDEPENDENT Four days ago phone call from the police They think they have some news for us Can they come over? A psychological thriller about a mother whose child goes missing; a play about retribution, remorse and redemption and the interwoven lives of three strangers as they try to make sense of the unimaginable. Frozen premiered at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1998. The play was revived at the National Theatre, London, in 2002 and at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, in February 2018. 'Bryony Lavery's big, brave, compassionate play about grief, revenge, forgiveness and bearing the unbearable.' Guardian 'Lavery examines matters with candour and sympathy from a range of angles in what is surely her masterpiece . . . Easy assumptions, sentimentality and mythologising are rigorously avoided, and one leaves both emotionally affected and wrapped in thought.' Financial Times 'Through first monologues, and then dialogue, this modem classic has much to say about the extremes of human anguish, but also our capacity for change, and for forgiveness. It's a dark and thorny work, but a deeply humane one too.' Independent
