In New York, ''Frozen'' opened in February 2004 at off-Broadway's Manhattan Class Company Theatre starring Swoosie Kurtz, Brian F. O'Byrne and Laila Robins. It transferred to Broadway in May and closed in August 2004.〔(Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Frozen" in Southern Florida 10/24/04 )〕 ''Frozen'' was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play in 2004, and earned a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play (Brian F. O'Byrne). ==Plot and characters== The story is set in present-day England and involves three main characters: a serial killer named Ralph, who kidnaps and murders a young girl; the murdered girl's mother, Nancy; a New York psychiatrist, Agnetha, who travels to England to examine Ralph. The three lives slowly intersect — and the characters gradually change and become "unfrozen" as they come to terms with the idea of forgiveness. The script begins in monologues, each person showing his or her side of the story; the audience sees each person's story intertwine as they connect with one another. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frozen (play)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
