Chapterhouse Theater Company in Britain will present the timeless story of “Little Women,” based on the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott, in Shenzhen this Sunday.
A scene from “Little Women.”
It is a story full of romance, love, passion and friendship, a story where hope will always outdo heartache and hardship if you just have the courage to follow your dreams.
Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth are four “little women” growing up in New England during the Civil War in the United States. The sisters share everything — their joys and pain, their loves and secrets. But the four girls couldn’t be more different. Meg, the oldest, is the sensible one. Jo is funny and mischievous. Beth is the shy, dreamy one, and Amy is pretty and artistic.
Follow the girls as they grow into wonderful young women and share the events in their lives: Meg’s first dance, Amy’s punishment in school, the return of their father from the war, Jo’s fury with her sisters when her precious diary is burned, the family wedding, Beth’s tragic illness, and more. Their story has become one of the most popular books ever written in American literature.
The tale of these four sisters is brought to life in a brand-new adaptation from Chapterhouse, featuring glorious period costume, traditional live music and a story of self-discovery to warm your heart.
