Abstract
It would be hard to imagine the Charlottetown Festival without Anne of Green Gables but it almost happened this season when Festival management and the show’s authors, Don Harron and Norman Campbell, found that they couldn’t agree on a long-term contract. The two sides, in fact, had been negotiating for the last three years to set up a 15-year agreement. Last November, terms for such an agreement had apparently been worked out. The authors’ lawyers, however, brought up new arguments and the Centre’s Board turned down further revisions offering to go back to the year-by-year agreement. Harron and Campbell refused and Anne came as close as ever to disappearing. A new contract was, however, signed giving Harron and Campbell eight per cent royalties for the present and allowing the Festival to play it for another season as well as to tour it next year. Beyond that, though, no one can say.
