Anne (2007) is a tele venture by young, award-winning director
Nalaka Swarnathilaka ("Danga
Malla"). Anne is telecast
on Swarnavahini in Sri Lanka every Sunday at 8.30 pm. The tele venture
is based on the L.M. Mongomery's "Anne of Green Gables," which
was translated into Sinhala by Shanika
Dulani Kumanayake. Kalubowila (R.S. Video) produced the tele drama, and it
is scripted by Swarnathilaka. Students from various schools play roles
in the tele drama.
Synopsis:
Miss Marilla Cuthbert and Mr. Matthew Cuthbert, middle-aged siblings
who live together at Green Gables, a farm in Avonlea, on Prince Edward Island,
decide to adopt an orphan boy from the asylum as a helper on their farm.
Through a series of mishaps, what ends up under their roof is a precocious
girl of eleven named Anne Shirley. Anne is bright and quick, eager to please
but dissatisfied with her name, her pale countenance dotted with freckles,
and with her long braids of red
hair. Being a child of imagination, however, Anne takes much joy in life,
and adapts quickly, thriving in the environment of Prince Edward Island.
The rest of the story recounts her continued education at school, where she
excels
in studies very quickly, her budding literary ambitions and her
friendships with people such as Diana Barry and others.
