Full casting has been announced for Anne-Marie Casey’s new stage adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s much loved classic novel Little Women, which opens at Belgrade Theatre, Coventry on 19 March before touring.

The production will star Belinda Lang (Sister Boniface Mysteries, 2point4 Children) as Aunt March), Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyle’s War) as Marmee, Jack Ashton (Call the Midwife) as Brooke and Bhaer, and Grace Molony (The Great) as Jo.

Completing the company are Cillian Lenaghan as Laurie, Jade Kennedy as Meg, Catherine Chalk as Beth, and Imogen Elliott as Amy.

Experience the enduring journey of the March sisters - tomboy Jo, beautiful Meg, sensitive Beth, and spoilt Amy, as they as they navigate the challenges of the Civil War era, forging unbreakable bonds of love and family. Step into the world of sisterhood, courage, ambition and follow them as they progress into womanhood.

After Coventry, the tour will visit Blackpool, Edinburgh, Salford, Malvern, Eastbourne, Cardiff, Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Richmond, Leeds, and Plymouth.

Little Women is directed by Loveday Ingram, with design by Ruari Murchison, lighting by Mike Roberston, music and sound by Mathew Bugg, and movement direction by Mike Ashcroft.
