Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L.M.Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a children’s novel since the mid- twentieth century. It recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
Anne is highly imaginative, eager to please and, at times, quite a dramatic individual. However, she is defensive about her appearance,despising her red hair and pale, thin frame. She is often quite talkative, especially when it comes to describing her fantasies and dreams. At first, stern and sharp Marilla says Anne must return to the orphanage, but after much observation and considering, along with Matthew’s strong liking to Anne, she decides to let her stay.
As a child of imagination, Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables.
This creation is made possible through the assistance of the heirs of Lucy Maud Montgomery, and the company has secured a partnership with the heirs of Norman Campbell to enable us to create a score based on the original musical composition from Anne of Green Gables – The Musical®.
