Nicholas Brown + Nicholas Papademetriou - Frozen

"We all yearn for witnesses of the most cherished of our memories and beliefs….played in high comic style in Kate Gaul’s energetic production, like a music hall that gradually becomes darker and more grotesquely real as it progresses."
John McCallum - THE AUSTRALIAN |
By Michael O’Brien - Downstairs Belvoir St (B Sharp) June 2003
"Is someone going to look back at me in 20 years time and find me profound?"
In an imagined future the Australian President is shot dead while touring the streets of Sydney. Assassination? Conspiracy? Or history created by a random bullet?
Georgia and Patrick, history students, discover the personal significance of this event as past and present lives, secrets and chance events collide through time and space.
Part thriller, part comedy, Frozen is a tantalising min-epic. Nine characters across 20 years struggle to understand the passage of time we call history.
Frozen was shortlisted for the Griffin Playwriting Award 2002
