Change of Plans

by Michele Miller

A very fortunate woman shows off her spacious Manhattan apartment where she is isolating with her husband during the pandemic. Although she is aware how lucky she is to have two bedrooms and even a balcony, it soon becomes clear that there are darker things afoot now that Covid has them trapped at home.

    Michele skillfully peels the onion of this woman's horrific situation. Completely believable - and the last twist truly a shocker.

    A powerful monologue that opens the closed doors of domestic abuse to reveal the horrific reality locked behind. Well done.

    MICHELE MILLER’s short play, “Change of Plans”, is a brilliant monologue in which you find out so much, have a visceral reaction to all the unfair pain and suffering of this woman, and gladly fantasize her plan will work out. I love this piece for its clarity of what an abusive relationship is. BRAVO!
