zMaud of Leaskdale - PEI

This performance is taking place in PEI. CHARLOTTETOWN'S CARREFOUR THEATRE Friday, June 27th, 2014 Tickets prices: $18.00 We are delighted to join with the LMMSO (L.M. Montgomery Society of Ontario) as a sponsor of a PEI performance of "Maud of Leaskdale," a powerful and engaging one-woman play that has already delighted audiences in Ontario during performances held last summer. Never performed in PEI before, this play offers a fascinating and moving look into the life of L.M. Montgomery during her time in Ontario. Created by Conrad Boyce, Maud of Leaskdale details the author’s years spent in the Ontario countryside, taken directly from her very own journals. "When we were thinking of which way to go with the script," explained Boyce, "we quickly realized that no one was more eloquent or powerful in telling the LMM story than Maud herself. That's why the play consists entirely of excerpts from her journals, brought to life and woven together by a wonderfully skilled actress in the perfect environment, Maud and Ewan's own church." Starring professional actress Jennifer Carroll, this one-woman show delves into the celebrated, surprising and haunted life of the woman who penned Anne and Emily of New Moon. Carroll returns to bring Maud to life with respect and deference, and conveys the numerous facets of this strong, complicated woman. The accounts of Maud’s triumphs as an author, her trials as a minister’s wife and mother and her alternating sadness and joy are underlaid with the humour of skewered personalities and village gossip relayed with her acerbic wit.
