St. Ann's Warehouse
In 1921, Anna Christie, a reformed prostitute, walks into a saloon on South Street and snaps one of the great lines in theater history: “Gimme a whiskey—ginger ale on the side. And don’t be stingy, baby.” With that entrance, Eugene O’Neill cracks open a new age of modern drama. In this new production, directed by Tony Award winner Thomas Kail (Hamilton), Emmy Award winner and five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams takes on one of the boldest roles in the American canon. Tom Sturridge plays Mat Burke, Anna’s lover; Brian d’Arcy James takes on the role of Chris Christopherson, coal barge captain and Anna’s father; and Mare Winningham joins the cast as Marthy Owen, a weathered woman who shares a history with Chris.
