Anne of Green Gables (2023) is a play written by Broadway writer and performer Ashley Griffin. It is based on the novel Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery.
In telling Anne's story, the play emphasizes the importance of community and communal telling. Designed as a strong ensemble show, the entire company is onstage during the whole performance as in "Our Town." The cast listens to and reacts to scenes. Even performers without lines play a role in the physical storytelling.
Anne of Green Gables by Ashley Griffin was published in 2023 by Plays For New Audiences: A Division of Children's Theatre Company. It runs an estimated 60 minutes, and can be cut for competition. The cast includes 27 characters, and it is possible to double and triple roles. The play is available for productions worldwide through Plays For New Audiences.
The play is described as follows:
Meet Anne Shirley, a red-haired orphan with an imagination a million miles wide! Anne unexpectedly arrives in the small town community of Avonlea and soon captures the hearts and minds of her newfound family and neighbors. Anne's story, told through the lens of an ensemble cast, reminds us that we are all shaped by the people we surround ourselves with and that finding one's place in the world is a journey best traveled with the support and love of others.
