Fresh Glory Productions - Current Productions

Frozen in loss, a mother fights to confront a killer
Frozen in his horrific childhood, the abused becomes the abuser
Confronting the truth, a psychiatrist stares into "the frozen arctic sea that is the criminal brain..."

This witty, compassionate play, produced by Fresh Glory Productions in Summer / Autumn 2008, explores in forensic detail a nerve-shredding story of supreme topicality.

Winner of the TMA Best New Play Award, Frozen is “Consistently surprising and even bravely comic. The almost thriller-like promise of the play’s climactic confrontation is like a time-bomb ticking in the back of your head” (The Independent)

Frozen was directed by Sonia Fraser and a successful run at the Riverside Studios was followed by a tour in September and October.

"Frozen stands or falls on the strength of the performances and this cast rise superbly to the challenge 
of three emotionally harrowing roles. There is barely a false note in the whole production and director 
Sonia Fraser and her design team have brought out the depth of emotion, intelligence and wit of Lavery’s play"

Rosalind Cressy - Agnetha

"Rosalind Cressy gives a sympathetic portrayal as Agnetha, successfully capturing 
her brilliant but troubled mind, her wry wit and her crippling panic attacks" 
(What's On Stage.com)

Dorothy Lawrence - Nancy

"Dorothy Lawrence makes a caustic, tough, bleakly funny Nancy: she also has the astonishing emotional reflexes 
required to tip the audience from heartbreak to gallows humour"  (Time Out))

"Deeply moving as Nancy, convincing us of this ordinary Northern mother’s emotional journey from hope 
through devastation to some kind of belated final accommodation with her ruined life" (What's On Stage)

 Jack James - Ralph

"In an extraordinary performance Mr James presents a figure who twitches, who sweats, 
who can plunge in an instant from obsessional neatness to messy anger..." (The Mail) 

"Jack James inhabits Ralph coldly and brilliantly, with subtle physical tics to match the verbal ones..." (Time Out)

"A remarkable performance as Ralph...Physically nervy, yet mentally calculated...frighteningly brought to life" (Remote Goat)
