Foolish Wit Theatre presents Little Women

Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Louisa M Alcott’s timeless classic Little Woman views the story of The March Sisters through a different lens.

Jo tells Beth a ‘real story’ which unfolds on the stage as it plays out in Jo’s imagination.

It is a story of four sisters dealing with the struggles of growing up and their different ambitions against the background of a war that they see serves no purpose but to deprive them of their Father.

This fresh take on a coming of age story has more laughs, fewer tears and an unruly parrot to add to the fun.

“Hamill’s feminist-friendly spin on the classics never fail to sound an engagingly original note… an ingenious compassion of Alcott’s novel that is by turns funny and painfully poignant…it touched me to the heart.” – Wall Street Journal

“Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Little Women…is a sublime example of how to make 19th-century works relevant to modern audiences. Hamill understands that Alcott’s core beliefs, if not her specifics, were invitations not to tea parties and cotillions, but to invite all women to revolution.” – Talkin’ Broadway
