A devised creation taking text from Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins 1856 play of the same name, the play focused on a group of sailors attempt to find the Northwest Passage and their decent into cannibalism as their rations begin to poison them, as well as the wives back at home speculating what might have happened to them. The scenic design created a large ship hull onstage, with canvas sheets standing in for ship sails, icebergs, and allowing for some creative shadow play. The floor paint bridged the gap between the wives and their tarot readings and the deep ice that the sailors traversed.
