When Maddie is forced to seek the help of her long-estranged mother, she finds herself unable to shield her daughter Caroline from the inescapable circumstances that fractured their family. A world premiere play by PRESTON MAX ALLEN (WE ARE THE TIGERS), directed by Tony Award Winner DAVID CROMER (DEAD OUTLAW, GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK), CAROLINE is a luminous and intimate story about the possibility of redemption and the complex relationships between generations of mothers and daughters.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Caroline
Caroline
9 / 10
One 90-minute act is just the right length for Caroline, and thanks to David Cromer’s zoom-lens direction, we develop an instant attachment to these characters. Allen doesn’t tie anything up neatly, but somehow we know that Caroline will be just fine. She’s the smartest, most clearheaded one of them all.
On the Road, in Three Dimensions: Caroline
9 / 10
That’s why it’s refreshing to come across a play like Preston Max Allen’s Caroline, the assured, affecting three-hander now getting its premiere at MCC under the emblematically thoughtful and ungilded direction of David Cromer. Allen is writing about something that’s in our newsfeeds daily, but crucially, that thing doesn’t flatten or predetermine his people. What he’s actually interested in are relationships, the interconnectedness of messy human beings. His characters are grappling with the consequences of broken trust and the agonizing question of how much we can truly protect anyone we love. The political resonance of his project arises not from an explicit statement of values but from a tender demonstration of complex, undeniable humanity.
