The final crack at a play begun by Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens, The Frozen Deep is inspired by the fateful Franklin Expedition, a naval voyage that was stranded in the Arctic in the 1840s, and is still making headlines today. Four young women search for meaning in that space between hope and loss while one of them harbors a secret that could turn all their optimism against them. When that secret is revealed on the other side of the ocean, the men of the expedition wrestle with survival and, indeed, what in fact they have been living for.
