Carl's Sister - About the Play

Marie Brenner’s extraordinary memoir about her strained, heartwarming and funny relationship with her brother is adapted for the stage by Pulitzer-, Tony- and Academy Award-winning author, Alfred Uhry. A medical crisis brings Marie, a classic New York liberal and investigative journalist for Vanity Fair, and Carl, a conservative apple grower living in Washington State, together after many years apart. While Marie abandons her life to help her dying brother, Carl fights her every step of the way.

This touching memoir tells the story of their attempts to heal and understand one another. Alfred Uhry’s distinguished body of work includes the Pulitzer Prize- and Academy Award-winning Driving Miss Daisy, the Tony Award-winning The Last Night of Ballyhoo and Parade as well as the book for MTC’s LoveMusik.
