READ a synopsis of "COLD CASE"
Cold Case depicts the heartbreaking story of a niece, living in rural Alaska, fighting to recover her aunt's body from a morgue in Anchorage. The unusual structure and simplicity of writing and the play's unique representation of life in an off-road Alaska Native village brings to bear the claustrophobic nature of being smothered, not just by a blizzard but by the bureaucracy and circumlocution of a government constructed to dismantle village life.
