Synopsis- This dramatization captures the charm and excitement of L.M. Montgomery’s enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first encounter with her austere guardian to her thrilling graduation from Queen’s Academy. The play faithfully recreates the memorable events and characters from the brilliant novel. All the tragedies and triumphs that mark Anne’s growth from adolescence to early childhood are here: her friendship with Diana, feuds with Gilbert, her adoration of Matthew, the mistaken wine bottle, the cake disaster, her broken leg, the Scholastic achievements and the saving of Green Gables.
