Anna Christie

Anna Christie is a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Eugene O'Neill that was first produced on Broadway in 1921. The story centers around three main characters: Chris Christopherson, a Swedish captain of a coal barge and longtime seaman, his daughter Anna, who was raised on a Minnesota farm and separated from her father for fifteen years, and Mat Burke, an Irish stoker who works on steamships. The play begins with Chris and Anna's reunion, and Anna moving in with her father on his coal barge. The play explores themes of love, family, and redemption as the characters navigate their relationships and past experiences.
