Her own way

A four-act stage drama set in New York follows Georgiana Carley and the members of her household across time jumps that move from a children's playroom to drawing-room confrontations and private chambers. The narrative tracks shifting alliances, courtship tensions, and disputes among relatives and servants as a suitor's presence forces personal choices. Scenes combine comic moments of manners with more serious examinations of individual autonomy, social expectation, and domestic authority, using intimate interiors and episodic structure to reveal changing loyalties and the consequences of characters asserting their wills.
