The Frozen Deep is a play written collaboratively by Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens. Collins began the play in 1856, and Dickens later revised the play by altering lines and adding a preface. Dickens himself even acted in several performances of the play. The drama is based on the 1845 Franklin expedition. The ill-fated expedition set off to explore the Northwest Passage, but soon after the team had left, they were never heard from again. Eskimos, however, reported seeing some crew members alive and partaking in cannibalism as a last means of survival. The play rebukes the Eskimos? assertion, reviving the characters of the men on the expedition. The first performance of The Frozen Deep occurred on January 5, 1875 at the Tavistock House. Both Collins and Dickens acted in the play with Collins in the role of Frank Aldersley and Dickens playing Richard Wardour.
Excerpt from The Frozen Deep: And Other Tales (Relating the Adventures and Transformations of The Frozen Deep.) As long ago as the year 1856 I wrote a play called "The Frozen Deep." The work was first represented by amateur actors, at the house of the late Charles Dickens, on the 6th of January 1857. Mr. Dickens himself played the principal part, and played it with a truth, vigour, and pathos never to he forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to witness the performance. The other personages of the story were represented by the ladies of Mr. Dickens's family, by the late Mark Lemon (editor of "Punch"), by the late Augustus Egg, R.A. (the artist), and by the author of the play. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
