Frozen

This, as it says in the advertising, is the story of a little girl who went to visit her granny - but never came home. Three main actors - the mother, the kidnapper, and a psychologist with a rather fragile personality of her own. All, apparently, famous from TV - but not being a frequent TV-watcher, I wouldn't know much about that. It is, as you might expect, quite dark - never more so than when the kidnapper is onstage, frequently accompanied by faint, ominous music. He plays a blinder, I have to say, presenting himself as one of the most thoroughly unpleasant characters I've ever seen. Unusual, to get the psycho's perspective.. but all the characters are well-rounded, and beautifully played. As the play progresses, it becomes a study of how the different characters deal with loss. ("Frozen", BTW, refers to the state of mind of the characters - not the weather; it's not set in Scandinavia!) It's an original plot, taking the audience in some unexpected directions, and I loved the production - some of the imagery, such as the mother walking into light at the end, is a bit obvious: but I thought it came across very well. As one of our group remarked, a very slick production. Highly recommended - quite memorable.

Show was very deep and dark telling a story of abduction of young girl and how it had retribution, remorse and redemption. The acting was superb with 3 great actors in the roles Suranne Jones, Jason Watkins who I must say was very good in his role and Nina Sosanya. Set was simple but storyline was gripping.

A very strong cast headed up by Suranne Jones, Jason Watkins and Nina Sosanya this tells the story of how a 10 year old girl went missing from her home after going to visit her grandmother. We later learn she is abducted and murdered by a paedophile. This is a very uncomfortable watch at times with disturbing music and themes throughout. At times I couldn't bear what I was hearing but I knew it was paramount to the story. You cannot fault the acting here - it is excellent, but just a very hard watch so be prepared when you go in!

Found this to be quite disappointing, as I think I had hoped it would be this incredibly gripping thriller. It's engaging, and a good subject matter, however the characters lack any true depth - I couldn't work out if this was to do with the script or the direction. Jason Watkins gives a very sinister performance, and is utterly compelling to watch. Unfortunately, the female parts in comparison are not as well written. Paul Wills' design is superb and looks very slick. The atmosphere was right and I was hoping for much more. It does not get anywhere near as chilling as it is perhaps advertised.

A thrilling, dark, enthralling and breathtaking piece of theatre where you forget about the real world for two hours. The combination of psychology and storytelling was absolutely perfect. I'm in awe of everything about this show; if there's any chance you can catch it before it closes, please go!

Fantastic performances from the whole cast. Suranne Jones, Jason Watkins and Nina Sosanya are just incredible and they really performed the piece with dignity and no holding back.

I had been really looking forward to this, but was ultimately left feeling unsatisfied. I found all of the characters unlikeable, with the lead actually coming across as quite amateurish until the last 20 mins when she showed some real emotional range. I wouldn't say it is a psychological thriller. There are no twists and nothing too clever about the production. It was ok at best and not one that I would recommend I'm afraid.

Saw “Frozen”. Incredible performances from all of the cast. Harrowing subject material, but mesmerising. Cast seemed genuinely touched by their much deserved standing ovation at the end. See it while you can.

Good drama with some gripping intense moments. Stage set and lighting are good - simple and effective. Acting wise - Jason Watkins is very good in my opinion.
