Exiled from her home by the Old Devil Sea to the inland plains, Anna Christie's life changed forever at just five years of age. Fifteen years later, she is reunited with the father who sent her away and sets sail in search of a new beginning.
Eugene O'Neill's epic Pulitzer Award-winning play about love and forgiveness charts one woman's longing to forget the dark secrets of her
past and hope for salvation
Ruth Wilson's portrayal as Anna ranges from the hardened drinking prostitute in the bar scene to a woman struggling with her emotions when she begins to fall for stoker Matt played by Jude Law. The duo give sterling matched performances when Anna confesses her past as Matt wants to marry her. His passions violence, distress and finally his love all make way for glittering performance all the more poignant by Wilson's perfect depiction of the troubled Anna.
The minalmist set and storm scene are captured beautifully, our emotions are held throughout this wonderfully timed performance
Performances are currently sold out but 10 tickets are available each day at 10.30 although you may be lucky and get returns as I did.
