New York City
In the middle of a frozen Minnesota lake, Ron sits in his icehouse, baits his hook and waits, quiet and alone, to catch The Big One. But soon his shack is overrun by his wife, his brother, the goofy bait-shop owner, and others bringing memories from his past. Even a pair of missionaries who warn him "The grand climax is at hand". While it is sure to delight fans of Fargo and Lake Woebegon, Kevin Kling’s The Ice Fishing Play deals with love and loss, moving audiences to a poignant, somber finale.
