Louisa May Alcott 
Comic Tragedies 

Louisa May Alcott’s most popular novel, ‘Little Women’, featured the March sisters, who were based on her own family. In this collection of short plays, originally written by Alcott and her real sisters, Alcott adds to the world of ‘Little Women’, as the plays are made to seem like they were penned by Jo and Meg from ‘Little Women’ and acted out by them and other characters in the book.The plays are not as complicated as the background, thankfully. They are short, pithy, melodramatic and feature witches, magic, murder, ghosts and farcical situations.If you are a fan of ‘Little Women’, which was recently adapted for the silver screen for the seventh time, starring Emma Watson and Timothee Chalamet, you will love this additional glimpse into the lives of the March sisters.-
