Little Women At The Rep
I was eleven when I first read Louisa May Alcott’s ‘Little Women’ and it remains one of my favourite books. The story of the four, very difficult March sisters, set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, is a classic, one that has been much filmed. Now, it has been adapted as a play by Anne-Marie Casey, and this spirited production, which opened at the Birmingham Rep last night, is going to win hearts all over again. The story is slight, four young sisters, all very different, heading towards womanhood and their own hopes and dreams. Beautiful oldest sister Meg wants a husband and family, but knows the family…

It took many years to finish paying off the student loans I accrued during that time. University is a time that should be one of the most fun experiences you will ever have, but, when it comes to money, you can end up building up debts that you will be paying off for a long time, even as you are trying to sort your finances for life after study. So being a savvy student when it comes…
