On April 17th 1980 my daughter, Rhona, walked out of my house to go to her Grandma’s house. She never got there. She never came back. She was 10.

For 20 years after her disappearance, Nancy keeps hope alive by imagining her daughter growing up and founding a group to help trace missing children. Then a man is arrested and Rhona’s remains are found.

Frozen is a profound and hypnotising drama about the moral and emotional effect of murder on both the perpetrator and his victims. Bryony Lavery has laid bare the horror of a child taken before their time and the aftermath that those left behind must deal with. The play places its 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.

Thrilling, humane and timely, Frozen won the TMA Best Play Award and was produced on Broadway where it was nominated for 4 Tony awards.
