The classic coming-of-age story spotlighting sibling support takes center stage in a new production of Little Women. Erin Riley’s acclaimed 2019 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s most famous work follows the March sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—as they navigate the pitfalls of life, love, and a nation at war with itself. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the narrative deals with themes of identity construction, resilience of the human spirit, and the strength of familial bonds as the sisters enter adulthood.
