Private Theatricals at Tavistock House - scene from "The Frozen Deep", 1857. Twelfth-night was signalised at Mr. Dickens residence by one of those dramatic performances which have so frequently done honour to the talent and taste of our great novelist. An entirely new romantic drama was provided for the occasion. It is in three acts, and the production of Mr. Wilkie Collins, whose genius for this class of piece it charmingly illustrates. Under the title of "The Frozen Deep, " the rigours of the Arctic regions are scenically portrayed...Richard Wardour, performed by Mr. Charles Dickens...in rags, wild as a maniac, rushes into the cave....Dickens had in such a character as this a part that required the consummate acting of a well-practised performer. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the artistic interpretation that it received from him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from a private theatrical performance at Tavistock House in 1857, featuring an excerpt from Wilkie Collins' three-act play, "The Frozen Deep." Charles Dickens, the renowned novelist and host of the event, took on the role of Richard Wardour in this romantic drama set in the Arctic regions. The image showcases Dickens in an intense moment as his character, dressed in tattered clothes and with wild, maniacal expressions, rushes into a cave. The scene is described in an article from the Illustrated London News as one that "required the consummate acting of a well-practised performer," and Dickens' artistic interpretation was greatly praised. The private theatricals at Tavistock House were a cherished tradition, showcasing the talent and creativity of both Dickens and his contemporaries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of literary and theatrical innovation during the Victorian era.
