Valletta’s infamous street comes alive on Tuesday, as the Strada Stretta Concept, under the auspices of the Valletta 2018 Foundation, puts up Bryony Lavery’s award-winning play, Frozen.

One evening, 10-year-old Rhona goes missing. Her mother, Nancy, retreats into a state of frozen hope. Agnetha, an American academic, travels to England to research a thesis: ‘Serial Killing - A Forgivable Act?’ Then there’s Ralph, a loner who is 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 entwines these people’s lives to explore our capacity for forgiveness, remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out entirely.

Presented by The Gozo Creative Theatre Club, under the artistic direction of George Mizzi, entrance to this event is free of charge. The performance starts at 8.30pm in Strait Street near Splendid.
