Caroline, or Change by Tony Kushner
This is the 'ravishing and revolutionary' (New Yorker) Broadway musical from the author of "Angels in America" - published alongside its UK premiere at the National Theatre. This work is set in Louisiana, 1963 - a nation reeling from the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedy assassination. Caroline, a black maid, and Noah, the son of the Jewish family she works for, struggle to find an identity for their friendship. Through their intimate story, this beautiful new musical portrays the changing rhythms of a nation. Tony Kushner and composer Jeanine Tesori have created a story that addresses contemporary questions of culture, community, race and class through the lens and musical pulse of the 1960s.
