About the project: Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is an epic tale that covers several years and many characters. The action moves along swiftly with Josephine's narration. Josephine, of course, is Louisa May Alcott. The cast size for this version of Little Women is flexible. There are smaller roles that may be doubled. Additional actors can be added to the Christmas party scene, the dance at the Laurences', and on the street in Act I Scene 9. The role of Amy may be played by two different actresses: a smaller, younger one for Act I and a slightly older, taller one for Act II. The role of Josephine has the greatest number of lines. Due to its immense popularity, several directors were asked why they chose this version of Little Women when they had perused copies of four or five versions previously. Two reasons seemed important: This version has 12 to 18 women, while some adapters cut parts to condense the long novel. Since the story covers several years and many characters, a narrator, Josephine (Jo) Marsh, gives background information to tie the scenes together.
