The year is 1844. A man answers an advertisement inviting him to join a ship bound for arctic waters. What has compelled him to travel to this inhospitable place and what does he hope to find? His experiences on the voyage, the loneliness and the merciless cold change him forever. The certainties of his early life are stripped away as he struggles to keep hope alive. The Unknown Land is a new play performed by actor David Frederickson and folk musician Keith Kendrick, inspired by true accounts of nineteenth century Arctic exploration, Inuit mythology and the fatal attraction of the polar regions.
