More information about Caroline
Caroline is a three-hander, featuring a trio of actresses spanning generations to tell a unique and contemporary story about how women navigate family, identity, and love despite the shared histories that have fractured relationships, but perhaps not forever. A master of finding the sublime in the small, David Cromer is known for his intimate stagings, as with his groundbreaking production of Our Town that launched his career. Since then, he has been an acclaimed stager of new works, including The Sound Inside and The Treasurer, and also musicals that have gone on to win major acclaim on Broadway, including The Band's Visit and Dead Outlaw.
Now, Cromer directs a play from a writer making a splashy off Broadway debut: Preston Max Allen. With immense compassion and a story for now that demands to be seen, Allen's play is heartfelt and thorny, never afraid to show that to love a mother is sometimes effortless, and sometimes acutely demanding.
