Frozen
One of the perks of my job is that I get to listen to a good many of our programmes well before they are actually put on the air. One such is Frozen, the latest in our monthly drama offerings.
I have to say it tickled my fancy for a number of reasons, not least that it deals with the topic of cryogenics...which has been a comedic gold mine for the likes of Matt Groening's Woody Allen in and Mike Myers in the movies.
Frozen - which we're trailing now in advance of its transmission on Monday - also has a few good funny lines. Well, when a man decided to have his head frozen in the hope of future revival you can imagine how that might go down in a small island community.
"They're calling us the Cornettos!" complains the long-suffering wife of the play's main character.
But the play is actually a thought-provoking piece and ultimately provides a touching twist on the theme of bereavement.
But don't take my word for it.
P.S. The play has also inspired in the Herald newspaper.
