Celebrating L.M. Montgomery's 150th and the many lives of Anne Shirley

  • Summary

  • This year marks the 150th birthday of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the lauded Canadian writer best known for her internationally-acclaimed novel Anne of Green Gables. The story of a spunky red-headed orphan who learns how to live and love on Prince Edward Island has transcended time and space, charming generations of readers with its wit, pastoral landscapes and rich characters. Today on Commotion, scholar Laura Robinson, playwright Kat Sandler and TV writer Kathryn Borel join host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to talk about all the ways this story has been adapted for the page, stage and screen — and why audiences can’t get enough.
