A post-apocalyptic feminist adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women. Blurring the boundaries of live art, music, theatre, comedy and dance, Little Wimmin examines how we think about the past, what’s wrong with the present, and what we’re going to do about the future – if there even is one.
Prepare to laugh at the traditions of theatre and poke fun at people’s obsession with ‘the classics’ as we turn the novel on its head before dismantling it entirely and transforming it into an unrecognisable cosmic catastrophe that talks about climate change, astrology and the infinite nature of the universe.

“A boisterous piss-take – of theatre, literary analysis and the canon… off-kilter blend of feminist performance art, stomach-ache comedy and futuristic dance” The Guardian
Figs in Wigs are on of the UK’s leading experimental theatre companies. Their work is recklessly joyful, highly visual and unashamedly revels in tackiness and trashiness.With an irreverent sense of humour they use puns, bad jokes and pop culture references to charm and disarm audiences of all ages.
