AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'... Lady Franklin's desperate search for her husband's doomed expedition is met with ghostly interruption from the former Lady Franklin and intertwines with the character of Charles Dickens ... writer and producer of 'The Frozen Deep'; a Victorian vision of the Franklin voyage. As Dickens becomes more and more entwined in his own play, the play itself begins to rebel and take on mythic and rebellious proportions. Woven throughout this journey are songs and music ... an epic adventure into the dangers of ice voyages and myth making.'
