Seats throughout the Theatre Royal Haymarket offer good views, with the best available in the Royal Circle and the middle of the Stalls. Due to very good rakes, you can see well above those in front of you.
Those searching for bargains should aim for the very ends of rows in the Royal Circle, as they offer angled but clear views of the stage. Only sit in the Balcony if on a tight budget, as views are distant and seats are benches!
BAFTA Award-winning actress Suranne Jones stars in a highly anticipated revival of Bryony Lavery’s acclaimed play Frozen, running for a strictly limited season at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. A gripping psychological thriller about redemption, remorse and retribution, the drama focuses on a group of people whose lives are irreversibly tangled after a young girl goes missing.
Set in present day England, Frozen explores what happens after 10-year old girl Rhona goes to visit her Grandma one evening, but never arrives. Taking place through the year after her disappearance, the play follows the interwoven lives of Rhona’s mother, a psychiatrist and a serial killer.
Originally premiering at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1998, the play received the Best New Play Award from the Theatrical Management Association. Frozen received its London premiere at the National Theatre in 2002, and its Broadway premiere two years later in 2004, earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
