Thin Ice
May 1940. Greenland. 
Cut off from civilization and surrounded by ice, Daniel sits frozen to death in a tiny hut.
As Richard and Laura arrive too late to rescue him, the body thaws and secrets surface – threatening their marriage, beliefs and ultimately their survival.
A wartime thriller and love story, Thin Ice is a powerful and darkly comic exploration of people finding courage in the face of adversity. Thin Ice is the next striking production from Total Theatre Award nominees Shams following their sell-out UK tour of Reykjavik.
Thin Ice is inspired by the extraordinary true story of the 'weather war' where the British and Germans fought over Arctic bases, allowing them to predict European weather patterns.
