Comic Tragedies Written by 'Jo' and 'Meg' and Acted by The 'Little Women'

"Comic Tragedies" by Louisa May Alcott and Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt is a window into the enchanting world of childhood play, where imagination reigns supreme as two sisters, mirroring the authors themselves, write and perform their very own melodramatic plays. The book captures their youthful passion for theatre, driven by friendship and a love for the dramatic arts. Their plays, staged with homemade costumes and sets, blend comedy and tragedy, revealing the innocent and idealistic nature of their dreams. Through trials faced in amateur theatre, readers witness not just the development of their roles, but also the affection that strengthens them through their artistic adventures.
