LITTLE WOMEN, A Play in Five Scenes, by Gavin Bantock
New Classic Adaptations for the Stage, Vol. 3

Louisa M. Alcott’s ever-popular New-World classic comes vividly to life in this compact dramatization set against a background of the American Civil War.

Four sisters, with widely different personalities, growing up together and struggling to become independent and good members of society.

Meg, the eldest, longs for the former wealthy life her father inadvertently lost. Jo, boyish and fiery-spirited, dreams of becoming a great writer. Beth, ever gentle and full of care for others, is gradually overcome by illness. Amy, the youngest, slowly learns to avoid vanity, envy and selfishness.

A parade of lively characters − Laurie, the cheerful boy next door; the stern but kindly Mr. Lawrence and the dragon-like Auntie March; the hard-working Mr. and Mrs. March, patiently guiding their teenage daughters; the shy Mr. Brook, Laurie’s tutor; Hannah the no-nonsense cook, and the bumbling German professor, Doctor Bhaer.

A fascinating blend of human conflict and romance, domestic problems and family unity, and both comedy and tragedy − imbued with the spirit of warm-hearted Christian morality.
