Reviews

A reviewer wrote of her performance in The Turning, "a malevolent matriarch as corrosive in her effect on a family as any military dictator on a nation's destiny. Caroline McKenzie's Nan, steely and precise in gesture, is a fine study in understated menace." [10] A review of The Crucible said, "Caroline McKenzie delivers accuser Ann Putnam’s grief over her seven still-born babies with a pinch-faced intensity that almost makes her accusations understandable."
