This month's "Wink:"
FROZEN by Bryony Lavery
Directed by Jordana Williams
One evening ten-year-old
Rhona goes missing. Her mother, Nancy, retreats into a state of frozen
hope. Agnetha, an American academic, comes to England to research a
thesis: "Serial Killing—A Forgivable Act?" Then there's Ralph, a loner
who's looking for some distraction. Drawn together by horrific
circumstances, these three embark on a long, dark journey which finally
curves upward into the light. Angry, humane and compassionate, FROZEN is
an extraordinary play that entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother
of one of his victims and his psychologist to explore our capacity for
forgiveness, remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule
them out entirely.
Featuring Lisa Mamazza, Will Reid, Sky Seals,
and Kristen Vaughan

ABOUT THE "WINKS" SERIES:
Dec 11, 2012- June 4, 2013
The second Tuesday of every month!
Wide Eyed Productions is embarking on a season
of development as they explore new works, revisit the classics, and
reimagine some of the best plays in the contemporary canon. This season
predicates future seasons by workshopping and reading plays to excite
and invigorate theatergoers and the production company alike. Through a
series of readings open to the public, Wide Eyed Productions aims to
strike a chord within ourselves and the community.
This season of “Winks” is intended to develop work that will further define Wide Eyed as a company, as well as its place in the New York arts world. Every reading will give the audience a chance to have a voice on what Wide Eyed produces in its seventh season, as well as build support for the company and all of its talented members. We’ve picked our favorite contenders, and by attending and giving your feedback, you can help shape the next season at Wide Eyed.
