PLAN C is a darkly comic, time-bending theatrical adventure about resistance, ingenuity, and women operating in plain sight. The story unfolds across two eras that collide with surprising force. In 1620 Brussels, during the chaos of the Thirty Years’ War, imperial postmistress Alexandrine Von Taxis quietly controls the flow of far more than letters, using her position to influence the fate of an empire. In present-day West Virginia, Charley Gibson runs her family’s hardware store, where hidden compartments and backroom dealings suggest a network of activity that goes well beyond bolts and tools.

A single misplaced letter and a daring break-in set both worlds into motion, drawing unexpected parallels between centuries-old espionage and contemporary acts of defiance. As these stories intertwine, the play reveals how rebellion often emerges not through grand gestures, but through sharp thinking, courage, and the willingness to cross a line when necessary.
