Freeze: Volume 36

By Stephen Orlov

A hilarious and heartwarming play about finding common ground during a crisis.

During the Great Ice Storm of '98, five Montrealers are trapped in a duplex, their lives unexpectedly intertwined. Nicole, a staunch pro-sovereignty journalist, finds her world turned upside down when her Anglo boyfriend, Curtis, proposes marriage. Add to the mix a gambling-addicted handyman, a Hydro Quebec lineman, and a horny elderly neighbor, and the stage is set for a night of political sparring and unexpected connections.

As the storm rages outside, this unlikely group confronts their differences and discovers surprising bonds. Will they overcome their prejudices and find love amidst the chaos? Freeze is a comedic and thought-provoking exploration of Quebec identity, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, humor and human connection can prevail. Perfect for fans of Canadian drama and stories that explore cultural divides.
