PLAY
On April 17th 1980 my daughter, Rhona, walked out of my house to go to her Grandma’s. She never got there. She never came back. She was 10. For years after her disappearance, Nancy keeps hope alive by imagining her daughter growing up. Then a man is arrested and Rhona’s remains are found.
Award winning dramatist Bryony Lavery has laid bare the horror of a child taken before their time. She places three characters – a grieving mother, a remorseless child killer and a psychiatrist – under the microscope and rewards us with a sense of understanding and release.
The Blueprint Theatre Company presented the first full London revival of Frozen since the National Theatre’s smash hit in 2002. Frozen won the TMA Best Play Award and was also produced on Broadway where it was nominated for 4 Tony awards. Directed by Ian Brown, formerly Artistic Director of West Yorkshire Playhouse.
