In this lively, heartwarming story which has parallels with the classic Little Women,four sisters share one hope, that their actor father can come home and live with them all again. A delightful family story with echoes of a classic tale.
Four sisters, each with their own particular hopes, ambitions and dreams, are living with their actress mother in London. As they listen to her learning her lines for her new play, LITTLE WOMEN, they realise the strong parallels between the sisters in the classic novel, and their own lives. Their father, too, is away from home – in the States trying to make it as an actor, and the sisters miss him dreadfully. Together, using all their individual talents, they devise a plan to try and reunite their parents.
A hearwarming, funny and lively family story which, although it has parallels with LITTLE WOMEN, quickly establishes its own very contemporary voice.
