Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women was an immediate critical and commercial success. The book was inspired by Alcott’s experiences growing up and is one of the best loved novels of all time. 

Experience the enduring journey of the March sisters - tomboy Jo, beautiful Meg, sensitive Beth, and  spoilt Amy, as they as they navigate the challenges of the Civil War era, forging unbreakable bonds  of love and family. Step into the world of sisterhood, courage, ambition and follow them as they progress into womanhood. 

Still as relevant today Little Women is a celebration of women, proving that women can be heroes of their own story, can be bold, persistent, self-assured to stand strong in who they are, and what they desire in their present and future. 

Anne-Marie Casey’s masterful new adaptation of the classic story offers a captivating rendition of  Little Women that breathes new life into a cherished classic.

The recent success of the Greta Gerwig film, the nostalgia of the classic book, combined with a beautiful adaptation provides an exciting theatrical experience guaranteed to be a night (or afternoon!) filled with laughter, tears, and a heart-warming lifting of the spirits.
