After Corbett's 'dead' snake escapes, bizarre things begin to happen in the house. Some of its inhabitants wonder if it is the snake or the spirit of the house that is haunting them. The darkness in this play may not be the result of the lives led by the characters, but the house they live in. As Violet says, "Nothing good ever happened in this house." Snake in Fridge debuted at the Royal Exchange Commission in Manchester in November 2000.
