DIRECTOR’S NOTES

LittleWomen wasfirstpublishedasachildren’sbook in1868,makingthestory154yearsoldthispast September. ThisAmericanclassic,pennedby Louisa MayAlcott,hasseencountlessadaptationsoverthe years,eachgivingushintsto contemporaryconcernsof thetime.

Whatexactlyisitthatkeepsreaderscomingbacktothisstory,anddrawsplaywrights tonewadaptations?Ibelievethatmanypeoplefindthemselvesdrawntoone–ifnot all–oftheMarchsisters.Theyare beautifully fleshed out characters,guidedbyan indominableandcaringmother,whoeachhaveuniqueandrichpathwaysinlife.This doesn’tseemlikemuch,butinaworldwherewomenareoftencastassecondary characters,thereisinevitableappeal.Atitsheart,it’sastoryaboutgrowingup,the importanceoffamily,andallofthecomplicationsfacedalongtheway.

ThiscontemporaryadaptationbyKateHamilldoesawonderfuljobofinvitingthe productiontobridgetheclassicthatweknowandlovewiththedrive,wit,and sensibilityofacontemporarytext.TheMarchsisterscontinuetoberolemodels, thistimewithJo expresslystrugglingwithhergenderidentity–givingqueerkidsa significantopportunity toseethemselvesreflectedatthecenterofafamilystory.
