Are They Little Women?

Read the Play (minus the ending)

by: Kay Thomason-Vardy

Inspired by Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women”

6F / 2M

Approximate Playing time:  70 Minutes

Modern-day Theodore Lawrence is catapulted back in time after being booted from a local pub – at least that’s what appears to have happened. But as confused as he is, so is the story in which he finds himself trapped: a somewhat mixed-up version of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. In spite of himself and his efforts to leave, Laurie’s contributions to the traditional narrative by Alcott are both humorous and preminiscent as he grows to accept and appreciate his place in the family dynamics. Despite the twists, Thomason-Vardy’s Are They Little Women captures all the joy and heartache of the original story and encapsulates the difficulties endured by women in the struggle for gender parity in the mid-1800’s. $20 Single Use Copyright Fee plus $50 Royalty per Performance for Amateur Theatre.  Professional Theatre Royalties Calculated on Application.
