The Frozen Deep was a play, originally staged as an amateur theatrical, written by Wilikie Collins along with the substantial guidance of Charles Dickens. Dickens's hand was so prominent -- adding a proem, altering lines, and attending to most of the props and sets -- that the principal edition of the play is entitled "Under the Management of Charles Dickens."
The play was inspired by the loss of Sir John Franklin's lost Arctic expedition of 1845.
