(upbeat music) (clapper clapping) - The only way you can do a production like Little Women is working with each other.
- [Man] It's a lovely day for a wedding everybody.
And Playback.
- I think our experience on set afforded all of us the opportunity to become very close very quickly.
- Yeah we arrived ready for each other to become our new families.
- Did you know that Joe's writing a novel.
I've seen the pages on her desk.
- Let Joe write in peace.
- Angela would come into set and she would set the tone.
I learned a lot from them and it was a huge honor.
- Aunt March is an interesting character because she's sort of frightening but I think that there's an element of humor behind all of her nastiness.
I wish to address your parents about your sister Josephine.
We've done gaming windmill of a girl.
- It's often that you'll get quite close with a cast but there was something really unique about this I think because the story is so much about friendship and goodness.
- I'm Theodore Lawrence I live next door.
- I thank you both for your extremely kind attentions.
- I think the really inspiring thing about the March sisters is that they're always striving to make themselves better.
- In this adaptation the aspiration of a young woman is centered around kind of having a bit of a dream really to make something of yourself.
- I think Marmee gets overlooked on people's first encounter with the novel.
There's a really, really detailed portrayal not just of motherhood but of a woman's journey through life.
- You're never angry.
- No but I am angry, I never seem angry.
- I knew quite early on that we were lucky enough to have Emily Watson in the role.
- Little Women has a real sense of standing up for decency.
Trying to be active and do the right thing and I think Marmee is quite inspiring in that way.
- I think the over riding message of the novel is about relinquishing impossibility and embracing what you actually have.
Find out who you are not because you will love who you are all the more as a consequence.
