Аннотация
Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert advertise for a boy to help on their farm. Due to a misunderstanding Anne Shirley arrives instead. To stay at Green Gables would be a dream come true for Anne, but she just keeps getting into scrapes. She dyes her hair green, accidentally gets her best friend drunk and smashes her slate over the head of the handsomest boy in school… Impetuous, rebellious and gloriously red-headed, Anne is one of literature's most appealing heroines, brought faithfully and imaginatively to life in Emma Reeves' new stageplay for all the family.

No amount of drama between the Dark and Penhallow families can prepare them for what follows when Aunt Becky bequeaths her prized heirloom jug – the owner to be revealed in one year's time. The intermarriages, and resulting fighting and feuding, that have occurred over the years grow more intense as Gay Penhallow's fiancé leaves her for the devious Nan Penhallow; Peter Penhallow and Donna Dark find love after a lifelong hatred of each other; and Joscelyn and Hugh Dark, inexplicably separated on their wedding night, are reunited. Hopes and shortcomings are revealed as we follow the fates of the clan for an entire year. The legendary jug sits amid this love, heartbreak, and hilarity as each family member works to acquire the heirloom. But on the night that the eccentric matriarch's wishes are to be revealed, both families find the biggest surprise of all.
