'Little Women' adaptation at the Playhouse

Louisa May Alcott's novel gets a new adaptation as the show opens at the Salisbury Playhouse next month.

'Little Women' was written in 1869 and over 150 years later, it gets a new stage arrangement courtesy of the Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Wiltshire Creative.

For 11 days from Wednesday 3rd September, the performance which tells the story of the March sisters (Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy) navigate their childhood and womanhood during the American Civil War, is set to breathe new life into Alcott's novel.

Inspired by Alcott's own journey into womanhood, Little Women continues to resonate with audiences, portraying women as bold, persistent and self-assured.

The Salisbury shows feature Belinda Lang (2 Point 4 Children) as Aunt March and BAFTA Award-winning Juliet Aubrey (Middlemarch) as Marmee. 

The play, adapted by Anne-Marie Casey, tells the tale of Tomboy Jo, beautiful Meg, sensitive Beth and spoilt Amy as they forge the unbreakable bonds of love and family during the American Civil War.

Performances are from Wednesday 3rd September until Saturday 13th September. Tickets from £12 are available from the Wiltshire Creative website.
