Does anyone know where I can find a good synopsis of Caroline, Or Change?

WW11, wikipedia.org has a fairly effective synopsis.
The brilliant cast recording includes a full libretto too so you should try to get your hands on that if you can. It's a true masterpiece in my opinion.

You can buy it in book form also. I own it. It has a very nice introduction by Kushner and a great timeline of the show from workshop to Broadway.

"It has a very nice introduction by Kushner and a great timeline of the show from workshop to Broadway."

But other than that, it's the liner notes with a begger spine and price tag.

I was hoping the actual book would have more pictures from all the productions or something that would make it worthy since the cast recording booklet includes the whole libretto.
I found the essay by Tony Kushner to be quite fascinating but not worth buying the book for.

I am talking about the soft cover libretto. It is not that expensive. about 12 bucks on Amazon. It was given to me as a gift after I saw the show and raved about it.

Also, if you have the cast recording, if you listen to it straight through, it should give you a pretty good sense of the plot. I don't think there's much missing. It's also a great listen all the way through.
