Colder Than Here

Laura Wade's play is about grief, loss, family and the environment, and how we deal with the inevitability of death.

This Student Edition contains a commentary by Sophie Bush, Principal Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, UK, which explores the following themes in relation to the play:

* environmentalism
* changing attitudes towards death and grief
* family conflict
* motherhood

In addition, it looks at the production history (including major productions in the UK, US, Europe and Mexico) and the critical reception.

The edition includes an exclusive interview with Laura Wade.
