This adaptation, written by Kate Hamill, follows the four March sisters as they navigate the challenges of growing up in 19th-century New England. The play is full of the same humor, heart, and wisdom that made the book a classic.
The Guthrie's production of Little Women is directed by Sarah Rasmussen, who has a knack for bringing classic stories to life on stage. Rasmussen's production is both faithful to the book and visually stunning.
