Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women
By Lauren Gunderson
Pragmatic Meg. Sweet Beth. Vibrant Amy. And ambitious, independent, beloved Jo. In this charming new adaptation, Louisa May Alcott plays Jo March as she recounts how she wrote her famous novel for her real-life sisters, who in turn play the characters inspired by them. Under the loving guidance of their mother, Marmee, these infamous sisters each take their own path toward womanhood in a challenging world of social expectations thanks to the love, support, and antagonism of one another. Captivating readers for generations, this beloved story continues to delight with this energetic and novelistic approach using dialogue, description and interior thoughts just as Alcott wrote them.
