Little Women

Enjoy this unmissable open air performance from Chapterhouse Theatre Company

Enjoy an open-air production of Little Women on Wednesday 14th August, as Chapterhouse Theatre Company presents Louisa May Alcott’s beloved coming of age story with an evening of magical theatre in the Beaulieu grounds.


Meet headstrong Jo March and her sisters Meg, Amy, and Beth. Each sister is determined to pursue her own path in life, but though their dreams may be different, their family ties remain as true as ever. An uplifting and heartfelt tale of the March sisters’ journey into adulthood and all the trials and triumphs that come with it, Little Women features authentic costuming and a beautiful musical score.


about the play

Laura Turner’s deft adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s semi-autobiographical story of self-discovery, Little Women sees the March sisters – beautiful Meg, tomboy Jo, gentle Beth, and wilful Amy – through the adventures of their youth to the trials of young adulthood.

Jo weighs the affections of the March’s neighbour Laurie against her dreams of becoming a writer, and Amy longs to be an accomplished artist. Meg is enamoured of the steadfast John Brooke, and Beth wishes only to keep her family happy and whole. Against the turbulent background of the American civil war, the March sisters come into their own and must hold fast to their dreams through love, loss, heartache, and hope.
