The play Anna Christie by Eugene O'Neill tells of the reunion of a troubled daughter and her absent father in New York. Having spent his life on the seven seas, Anna’s father last saw her when she was 5 years old. There are things about her life and work she keeps hidden from her father. While living with him on a barge, they save the lives of five survivors of a shipwreck. One of them, Matt Burke, falls in love with Anna, and after a period of resistance, she returns the feeling. This development upsets her father who would rather not have Anna marry a sailor. The tension eventually leads to an argument between daddy and Matt, but Anna shocks them out of it by divulging a secret of her past, which causes both men to go on a drunken binge, and to sign up for a sea voyage to South Africa. If this turn of the plot sounds like more abandonment for Anna, it’s not....
