DESCRIPTION:
"Social realism on the waterfront" according to Karl Janssen. Early in his career, Nobel Prize-winning American playwright Eugene O’Neill wrote many plays about the sea and sailing life. Later on he became better known for serious psychological dramas about dysfunctional families. Anna Christie, first performed in 1921, might be thought of as the turning point where those two phases of his career intersect. It won . Great play! Fast read covering human pain , betrayal, finally forgiveness and acceptance. Not wrapped up with a happy ending, but with hope.. S. Kelly said A Young Girl on the Sea. I didn't know of this O'Neill play. It's interesting to see how he wrote earlier in his career. The plot's simple and rather predictable, still it's got some historical significance. I got to see how a "dishonorable" women was treated before WWI and that forgiveness from men was hard to "earn."
