This play is based on the famous and beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett,and premiered at the Aurora Fox as part of their Little Foxes program. While keeping much of the original dialogue of the book, what I added was more dimension to the surrounding characters, the girls in the school. This way more characters have more lines. I also added a subplot of peer pressure, which is relevant today more than ever. The play is narrated by the rat, Melchisedec, which gave me opportunities to add humor. It's a good choice for a director who wants to work with a classic and has lots of girls that want parts. The Fox used one set, and the downstage lip was the street. Thanks for taking a look at it!
