It took 126 years for a female director, writer and producer to breathe life into Louisa May Alcott’s timeless coming of age tale, but it was worth the wait. Hidden under the warmth of family theatrics, hearth fires and ice skates lie enduring themes of self-fulfilment, duty and independence, as the March sisters fight to find their place in the world.
