Frozen by Bryony Lavery at Anacostia Playhouse

The psychological drama Frozen, written by Bryony Lavery is a brilliant play about our darkest fears in the face of forgiveness, awareness and understanding. Directed by Delia Taylor, with a plot that could be taken from the pages of the Washington Post, Frozen tells the story of the disappearance of 10-year-old Rhona, and follows her mother and killer over the years that follow. A psychologist studying the brains of serial killers provides the link that intertwines the lives of the three characters through the two powerful themes of emotional paralysis and forgiveness. Frozen deals with issues we see every day in the media and made popular through movies and television dramas and how sensationalizing them may take away some of the reality of the crimes.
