PERSUASION
The Connelly Theater
A World Premiere by Sarah Rose Kearns
Adapted from the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Eric Tucker
In the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, a shy English spinster seeks to win back the love of the man she jilted eight years before. Jane Austen’s last and most romantic novel, PERSUASION first appeared in print in 1818, and is a meditation on love and loss, and what is constant in a changing world.
She recently portrayed Mrs. Clay & Henrietta in Bedlam's production Persuasion. She is grateful to have safely returned to the stage.
Check out how the show went:
"Bubbles of grace rise to the surface in this new adaptation of Jane Austen’s final novel, thanks largely to delightful comic turns from Annabel Capper, as Lady Russell, and from Caroline Grogan and Claire Hsu, as the sisters Henrietta and Louisa Musgrove." -THE NEW YORKER

The inaugural production of the new company SOCIETY, Beginning Days of True Jubilation by Mona Mansour, was part of the Ice Factory 2020 Festival at the New Ohio Theatre! In a normal world, it'd have been performed there; but in a pandemic, Society performed the show virtually on Zoom!
It's a satire about the cult-like group-think of winner-take-all capitalism, from the early euphoria of a new start-up through its epic crash and burn.
In the midst of the COVID Pandemic, Caroline performed for one of Bedlam's bi-weekly "Do More" Readings to support the Black Lives Matter Movement. She enjoyed working on Shakespeare's Richard II with this talented cast.
"Caroline Grogan gives a precocious, crackerjack performance as Mary Warren, a young girl in Abigail’s cohort."
