About this piece
Hope's monologue about
Summary
Marion Post (Gena Rowlands) is an accomplished philosophy professor who decides to take some time off to write a novel. She rents an apartment that is next door to a psychiatrist's office. As the walls are very thin, she can hear everything they say and soon becomes drawn to the stories that one of the patients, Hope (Mia Farrow), tells her psychiatrist. Those stories remind her of her past and she has a mid life crisis as her marriage is getting monotonous and she remembers all her problems with her family, friends and her first husband. After she meets her, Marion listens to Hope talking to the psychiatrist again. This time she is talking about Marion and how she doesn't end up like her, a sad woman who has led a cold life, alienating everybody. Then she talks about Marion's abortion and why she thinks she had it in the first place....
