CAROLINE

Caroline has been prepared especially for High School production. Teachers and educationalists alike have praised this musical for its entertaining qualities and ability to involve students of all interests and skills. This story of the “Lady on the five dollar note” is set in Sydney between the years 1840 and 1954 and provides ample chorus work for citizens, government officials, miners, camp followers, immigrant wives and settlers. Apart from Caroline, Archibald Flora and Tom, all the other characters may be doubled by cast members according to the size of the company.\

The play should have a continuing look about it – wherever possible each scene should almost overlap the previous one. It is easier to create this effect by not attempting to have solid sets and furniture.\
