Add Review/Comment

Winston-Salem, NC – The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem will present FROZEN, an important new play by Bryony Lavery at The Werehouse in Downtown Winston-Salem – 211 East 3rd Street, January 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just $5.00 (and free to Little Theatre Season Ticket Holders). Limited open seating. Reservations are suggested. Call 748-0857 x 203 for reservations. The New Horizons Series is sponsored by The Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts, a privately funded program of the North Carolina School of the Arts. This series will encompass plays and concert musicals with social, political, minority, ethnic, or multi-cultural themes, as well as thought-provoking and original explorations of the human condition, all of which are new works, works unfamiliar to most area theatergoers, or forgotten works worthy of re-examination. Chilling and disquieting, the play explores the paralyzing effect of psychological damage. At the center of Frozen, directed by Aaron Gonzalez, is a ten-year-old girl named Rhona who, on the way to her grandmother’s house, is kidnapped and murdered. Five years later, her remains are found in a shed owned by a drifter named Ralphie. Ralphie eventually confesses to murdering Rhona, along with the murder of at least seven other young girls. While in jail Ralphie submits to a series of tests by a doctor who tries to determine whether Ralphie’s crimes were his own sin or if they were a consequence of his upbringing. Throughout her meetings with Ralphie, the doctor finds herself troubled by her own demons. As the years pass Rhona’s mother, Nancy, struggles to move on. She eventually decides the only way to begin living again is to meet the man who ended her daughter’s life. In this study of culpability and forgiveness, Lavery writes with great humanity.
