At this time of holiday, yet living in a world of stress and strife, it is nice to be able to go back in time and relive one of the English language’s epic tales.  The Dobama production nicely develops Louisa May Alcott’s sappy, but well-intentioned picture of life in a by-gone era, where melodrama ruled in literature.

As the chill of winter begins to set in, there is nothing cozier than curling up with a good book. But if you are someone who also has the itch to make plans on the weekend, you can achieve both of those things by making a trip to Dobama Theater and cozying up to the adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel “Little Women.”

Mark Horning

While not perfect, this show takes us back to a gentler but to some degree highly sacrinated time where drama held sway over substance. It is a pleasant painting of a simple by-gone era. Like a hot cup of tea next to a fire on a winter’s eve it warms the soul and creates a feeling of well being. Savor the moment.

The latest iteration of Little Women—now at Dobama Theatre as adapted by Heather Chrisler—lights up the stage with four characterizations of Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth that are so sharp you could use them to field dress a musk ox.

If you’re looking for a touching tale that is huge on whimsy, adventure, and family, then the stage adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN written by Heather Chrisler and directed by Melissa Crum is the perfect warm-fuzzy for you this December. This smartly-directed gem is full of feel-good fun and all of the emotions of growing up.
