Nourishing Marion
monologue for a senior woman
A woman suffering from isolation experiences the healing power of nature.
Situation: During lockdown, a teenager has been feeding birds on the balcony of her apartment. A grouchy neighbour has complained about the mess they cause on his balcony. An elderly neighbour, Marion, knows none of this as she joins them on a Zoom call.
