Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Kentucky Shakespeare returns to the Actors Theatre of Louisville stage to present the Louisville Premiere of this new adaptation by acclaimed playwright Lauren Gunderson! Before they were the famous March sisters, they were Louisa May Alcott’s real sisters, and this lively and energetic adaptation tells their story faithfully and with joy. In 19th century New England, witty Jo, beautiful Meg, gentle Beth, and spirited Amy grow up, make mistakes, have adventures, and fall in love. With their father away at war, the March sisters are nurtured by their wise and selfless Marmee and entertained by their headstrong energetic neighbor Laurie. A timeless tale of family, resilience, and a determined young writer finding her way in the world.
