When Justice fails, Hope has couriers.
PLAN C is (not) Bridgerton, set 200 years earlier, and Lady Whistledown runs a post office.
Unfortunately there’s no sex*.
Fortunately, the show works without it.
Meanwhile, in West Virginia, a small town family hardware store distributes more than just hammers and nails.

More About PLAN C
PLAN C is a darkly funny, time-collapsing caper of resistance, relationships, and rebellion. 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 conceal more than tools. As 17th-century espionage collides with a small-town network, PLAN C exposes how rebellion takes shape.
PLAN C flips between two eras to bring history and the present into dynamic conversation with movement, original music, and ensemble-driven storytelling. This nine-person ensemble uses Hook & Eye’s signature devising style, to bring to life a story that reflects the urgency of the present moment.
