About the play
Louisa May Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN adapted by Anne-Marie Casey
Set during the American Civil War, this compelling drama follows the unforgettable March sisters—independent Jo, responsible Meg, gentle Beth, and ambitious Amy—as they come of age amid love, loss, hope, and hardship.
An adaptation full of all the warmth, wit, and emotional depth fans of the original story would expect, Little Women is a powerful theatrical experience not to be missed.
