Actors’ Shakespeare Project brings a classic American story to the Mosesian Center for the Arts’ stage. Little Women, based on the Louisa May Alcott, runs from Feb. 5 to March 1, and is directed by Watertown’s Shana Gozansky. See more information provided by ASP, below.
Join the March family around the hearth as ASP explores one of the most beloved texts in American literature, in a bold new adaptation by Kate Hamill (Emma, The Odyssey, Pride & Prejudice).
In the Victorian-era idylls of Concord, Jo March is anything but your classic Victorian heroine. Ambitious and headstrong, her dreams of being a novelist press against the starchy boundaries of societal expectations. But while her country comes of age as the Civil War rages, Jo and her sisters must also come of age – negotiating gender roles, politics, and romance as they define womanhood on their own terms.
Filled with laughter, love, heaps of New England charm, and sharp social commentary, Hamill’s adaptation celebrates the novel’s spirit while boldly reclaiming it for today’s world. This clever and empowering production of Little Women is perfect for all ages.
RUN TIME: Approx. two hours and twenty minutes, including one intermission.
