Event Details
In 1899, ten men are living in a 15x15-foot hut in Antarctica. They haven’t seen the sun for two months. How could one of them be dismissed six months before the relief ship is due? Is their leader still in control?
Although the protagonists were face to face, the quarrel was conducted through written notes. By a weird quirk of history (and family care for documents), these survived, to be read nearly 130 years later.
After a talk to present the background, there will be a rehearsed reading of the conflict that took place. And what happened next?
