Frozen
Opening Night: May 4, 2004
Closing: August 22, 2004

The play by Bryony Lavery is directed by Doug Hughes, MCC’s Resident Director. The award winning drama is about three people from very different worlds whose lives are connected by the disappearance of a child. This critically acclaimed London success about anger, forgiveness and hope, is both chilling and startling. Frozen is the winner of the TMA Best New Play Award and Eileen Anderson Central Television Award for Best Play. The show stars Swoosie Kurtz, Brían F. O’Byrne and Laila Robins.

”Frozen,” a play by Bryony Lavery, had a limited run this year at the East 13th Street Theater. Following are excerpts from Ben Brantley’s review, which appeared in The New York Times on March 19; the full text is online at theater.nytimes.com. The play reopened last night on Broadway at Circle in the Square.
The softly smiling man repeats the simple greeting again and again. ”Hello,” he says. ”Hello. Hello.” There is hope and gentleness in the way he throws out the words, like a bird lover tossing bread crumbs to pigeons. But it is a little girl this man has fixed his attention on. And when she finally answers him, she’s as good as dead.
