TEN MINUTE While touring the gardens of Versailles, two Edwardian school-teachers encounter a time slip and find themselves face to face with Marie Antoinette. Now that they're safely back home in 1901, they must make a hard decision. Do they keep quiet and preserve their reputation, or do they risk their careers and tell the world their story?

The Incident

Recommended by

  • Arthur M Jolly: The Incident

    Well-crafted characters confront an inexplicable experience... leaving us with no easy answers, but a sense that we, like Charlotte and Eleanor, have been given a privileged glimpse into the profound. This is a fascinating play about a little known event, but Mickere uses it as a springboard to look at the world her characters must face as they weigh the risks of coming forwards with their experience while trying to conceal their identities.
