by KATE HAMILL
based on the novel by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT
directed by SARNA LAPINE
featuring KATE HAMILL as "Meg"
in association with Jamie deRoy and Johanna Garfield
In the spring, Primary Stages will welcome back KATE HAMILL, playwright and star of our hit production of Pride and Prejudice, with her fresh new take on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel of love and duty, Little Women. Jo March doesn’t want to be like other girls; in fact, she’s not even sure that she wants to be a girl. Jo is ambitious, rough around the edges, headstrong, and yearns for a future she can’t yet articulate. As the nation is torn apart by civil war, Jo and her sisters struggle with what it means to grow up. Gender roles, political beliefs, poverty, and even love itself threaten to break family ties, as the March sisters try to reconcile their identities with society’s demands.
Run time: 2 hours and 15 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission
