This play, inspired by the Louisa May Alcott classic asks the question: What if the Little Women were those for whom the Civil War was waged but were offered none of the spoils? The play centers around a “family” of women that have come together to survive during the turbulent times of the civil war and into its aftermath. Miss Katherine and her husband, Hiram are abolitionists, who, at a great risk to their household, have taken in a pair of runaway slaves. The play depicts the life that these women have made together. It introduces you to these characters and gives a view into their unique contributions to this self-made family. As things progress we learn that these are very accomplished and talented women. Some have come to the plantation to escape horrible circumstances and plan for the future while others are here to avoid that future and simply have some peace and finally live a life that is truly their own. As they grow closer we start to discover what their dreams are shrouded in fear and secrets though they may be.
