About Little Women
Popular Shropshire-based Hotbuckle Productions are bringing their latest adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women’ to theatres and venues across the country this Summer.
After last year’s successful tour of ‘Pride and Prejudice’, Hotbuckle is back with its unique style of adaptations of classic novels. The virtuoso company has been entertaining audiences for many years with their inventive interpretations of familiar texts. Previous productions have included, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Wuthering Heights, David Copperfield, and Les Misérables, as well as Jane Austen’s Persuasion and Emma.
The beloved classic novel ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May Alcott is the next novel to be given a Hotbuckle make-over in a new adaptation by Adrian Preater. Written in 1868, it has received several movie adaptations as well as television series, plays, radio dramas, and musicals. One of the most iconic American novels ever written, it continues to be a source of inspiration due to the exploration of girlhood, family, and female ambition.
Hotbuckle is renowned for its fast-paced, multi-role-playing adaptations which cross age and gender traditions, and their latest offering promises to keep true to their style as we are invited to enter the world of The March sisters. Their journey from adolescence to adulthood is navigated through skillful characterization and imaginative staging, as Hotbuckle explores family, love, loss, and the challenges of growing up.
With a touch of highly acclaimed Hotbuckle humour and fast-paced storytelling, 19th Century Massachusetts will be brought to life as you’ve never experienced before!
