Fridge
by Emma Zadow
Description
Alice hasn’t been home for a while – for seven years, in fact. But when her little sister Lo tries to take her own life, she has to return to the life she left behind. The change of scenery from London to Norfolk proves quite the culture shock, however, and Alice has to confront what she left behind all those years ago.
The sisters’ relationship hasn’t evolved in Alice’s absence, and when she steps through the door she’s plunged back into the same world she escaped from. Set against Norfolk’s bleak landscapes, but masquerading as childhood nostalgia, Fridge is an all-too-familiar exploration of the broken promises of youth, and a bitter exposition of a generation left behind.

Reviews
'Every word of this script, from stage directions to dialogue, does so much heavy lifting, so that, for a slim volume, the emotional resonance is huge. I am very grateful to have had the chance to discover this talented playwright.'
Ellie Hawkes
'I would highly recommend you pick up this delightful jewel of a play… an intricate, highly plotted story that twists and turns, leaving you feeling unsettled and yet strangely calm.'
Zoe Radley
'This play is proof that you don’t need much to make a great story: 3 characters and 1 fridge.'
Anne Galmiche-Johnson
'Zadow offers a powerful and thought-provoking look at the intricacies of memory, nostalgia and the tribulations of early adulthood.'
James Bell, A Younger Theatre
