Nancy, a mother, retreats into a state of frozen hope when one evening her ten-year old Rhona goes missing. Agnetha, an academic, comes to England to research a thesis titled "Serial Killings: A Forgiveable Act?" Then there's Ralph, a loner with a bit of a record who's looking for some distraction...Drawn together by horrific circumstances, these three embark upon a long, dark journey that finally curves upward into the light in this "big, brave, compassionate play about grief, revenge, forgiveness, and bearing the unbearable" (The Guardian).
The cast of Frozen includes Actors’ Theatre veterans Kitty Carpenter, Ralph Lister and Rebecca Monterusso and, new to our stage, Steve VanderZee. Production staff includes director Stephanie Sandberg, stage manager Jessie Leugs, assistant stage manager Kim Contreraz, set and lighting designer David Leugs, properties designer Leslie Kohn, sound designer Steve Nardin, dialect coach Elizabeth Terrel and costume designer Heather Brown.
Sandberg states "serial killing is the most unimaginable, perhaps the most unforgivable of crimes and yet we are asked to examine whether or not grace and forgiveness can heal such violence and the pain it causes."
