Eastenders Repertory Companyopened Season 2008-09 withFrozenby Bryony Lavery

The story of a mother, the serial killer who abducted her 10-year old daughter and a psychiatrist studying serial killing and the sociopathic mind, FROZEN is an uncompromising, troubling and affecting exploration of the nature of forgiveness.
Michael Billington wrote in the Guardian: " ... the force of Lavery's play ... lies in its ability to change hearts and minds ... " First produced in 1998 at Birmingham Rep, FROZEN was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize, nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play, and was the fourth most-produced play in the United States in 2005-2006.
FROZEN will be directed by Eastenders Artistic Director Susan E. Evans and features Susan A Kendall, Craig Dickerson and Sandra Weingart. |
