ABOUT THE SHOW
Lauren Gunderson, one of America’s most-produced playwrights, has adapted Louisa May Alcott‘s classic novel "LITTLE WOMEN" for the stage.
Gunderson shared the following about the adaptation:
“'LITTLE WOMEN' was one of the very first plays I did in middle school. I played Jo, of course, and since then I’ve always had an adaptation of my own in mind. Alcott is such a radical storyteller, even as her work is often misunderstood as simply sweet Americana. I wanted this adaptation to be as spritely, robust and surprising as Alcott and her work. Louisa May Alcott’s 'LITTLE WOMEN' blends the rebelliousness of both Alcott and her semi-biographic heroine Jo into a version with all the romance, wit and brazenness of the novel but the fresh agility and intimacy of the stage.” (Credit: onStage Pittsburgh)
