Thanks to all of you for your emails and phonecalls... here are a few more... add yours to the list below!
After reading one of the reviews of Frozen, we were somewhat hesitant about driving the 30 miles one-way on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to see the production. We reminded ourselves that every play at Next which did not receive a rave review was always a production appreciated by us and the trip was worthwhile. This was not more true than regarding Frozen. Congratulations and thanks to the three actors, two of whom were kind enough to stay for the interesting post show discussion. Frozen addresses a number is issues confronted by most, if not all of us at times in our lives. It does so with intelligence and insight. Next's production is compelling and thought provoking. Best wishes for success with Frozen and next season. Our subscription renewal check is in the mail. - Donna R.
FROZEN FREEZES RESUBSCRIPTIONS
I liked the play and thought it had a powerful effect, but I am sure you are going to hear more from those who liked it than those that didn't. Unfortunately, it had other effects as well. I got my husband to subscribe to Next three years ago. Then the following year I got another couple to become subscribers. Then this past year I signed up two more couples. I attended Frozen with five of the seven people I have brought to the Next. The three men including my husband HATED the play and so did one of the women. As a consequence my husband does not want to subscribe next year and I doubt that the other two couples will either. I am writing because I care about the Next and feel that while this play should have been performed, it was not a good decision to choose it as the last play of the season. The men felt that the play was "not entertaining enough"--too downbeat, etc. What I didn't like about the play-- I think it was unrealistic that one session with the mother of the victim would have caused enough remorse to lead to suicide--The background noises were disruptive and did not add to the play. Overall though, I liked that the play probed the extreme hatred of the victim's mother, the grief and acceptance process, the unresolved conflicts of the psychologist, etc.I also understand why those with me did not "enjoy" the play--it's somewhat brutal to go through--but I would much rather have seen it than not--and I appreciate your courage in choosing plays that take us out of the "comfort" range. - Susan E.
Karen and I felt that Frozen was the best Next has performed. - Steve B.
