Hanna just wants to be left alone but her daughter Marjorie is there anyway, prying into Hanna's business. And if Marjorie doesn't stop touching her stuff, there's going to be trouble.

about the author:

Janet is thrilled to be included in the Hear Me Out finalist pool for the second time. Last year’s entry was What I Wear Outside. She spent the pandemic year writing her new full-length play, Cape Haven, a story of a family whose members are forced to re-define themselves. Full-length plays include her “one woman show for three or more actresses,” Theresa at Home (Boston), More Than What (Boston), a collection of short, intertwined plays, My Heart & My Flesh (Boston, Sonora, CA) and Globus Hystericus (commissioned by Theater Emory, Atlanta). She has written over a dozen 10-minute plays as well as some one-acts, screenplays and short stories. Her memoir, What Else But Grace, was recently completed. She has a M.A. in Playwriting from Boston University and a degree in Theater Arts from The University of Massachusetts at Boston.
