Emma Reeves' adaptation
of the original Louisa May Alcott book of the March sisters' heart warming adventures. Set
in New England during the 1860's, romantic Meg, fiery Jo, shy Beth and wilful
Amy, grow up in genteel poverty against the backdrop of the American Civil War.
With their father away at war, the four girls must become 'Little Women'. Tomboy
Jo would rather be fighting alongside her father - but they're all facing their
own battles. Meg is torn between her rich friends and a penniless tutor. Laurie,
the handsome boy next door, wants Jo to love him, Amy wants Laurie to notice her,
and Beth just wishes they could all stay together forever. In the second half
of the play, the girls are parted as Meg marries, Amy travels to Europe and Jo
moves to New York in search of fame and fortune. Unrequited love causes heartache,
and a tragedy strikes the family - will the 'Little Women' ever be reunited? Theatre:
