“The Caregivers” focuses on the tangled relationships between three women: Ruth (80s), mother of Louise (60s) and Patti (50s). The play is about how all of these women manipulate and betray one another in various ways, in order to serve their own interests, and about what and how all of them suffer as a result. It is a play about unacknowledged limitations, meanness, compromise, incompetence—but also about vulnerability and the need for love—and about what happens when these different impulses and characters, with different agendas, collide.
