EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to a historic theatrical event that took place at Tavistock House in 1857. The scene depicted here is from Frozen Deep, a groundbreaking play written by Wilkie Collins, which was staged at the residence of Charles Dickens, one of the most influential literary figures of the Victorian era. The smallest drawing-room at Tavistock House was transformed into a makeshift theatre for this unique production, which was performed over twelve consecutive nights. The play, which told the story of two polar explorers stranded in the Arctic, was a daring departure from the conventional stage plays of the time, and its innovative theatrical techniques left a lasting impact on the world of theatre. As seen in this image, the actors are in the midst of a dramatic scene, with the dimly lit room creating an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere. The expression on the faces of the actors conveys the intensity of their performance, while the audience, seated in the shadows, is fully engaged in the story unfolding before them. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the innovative spirit of its leading figures, Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. The image is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of live theatre, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or theatre memorabilia.
