PLAN C is a darkly funny, time-collapsing caper of resistance, resourcefulness and rebellion, where history collides with the here-and-now, and women running things aren’t nearly as quiet as they seem. In 1620 Brussels, imperial postmistress Alexandrine Von Taxis, moves more than mail through the empire’s hands during The Thirty Years’ War. In present-day West Virginia, Charley Gibson runs her family’s hardware store, where lockers hide more than tools. One misplaced letter. One break-in. As 17th-century espionage collides with a small-town network, PLAN C exposes how rebellion takes shape—through wit, nerve, and crossing a line.
Using movement, original music and ensemble-driven storytelling, PLAN C theatrically flips between the two eras, to bring history and the present into dynamic conversation. Using our signature devising style, this nine-person ensemble (double cast for maximal mischief!) brings to life a story of whispers, defiance and impossible choices. Our narratives slide back and forth from past and present, between truth and fiction to create a madcap theatrical experience that reflects the complexities of the present moment.
