Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie tells the story of a young woman who reunites with her estranged father after years apart. Having concealed her past as a sex worker, Anna seeks a fresh start, but finds her plans complicated by the rigid morality of those around her and the budding romance with a sailor named Mat. Set against the gritty backdrop of the New York waterfront in the 1920s, the play explores themes of forgiveness, identity, and the cost of redemption.

This new production is directed by Tony Award winner Thomas Kail (Hamilton, In the Heights) and features Michelle Williams, an Emmy winner and five-time Academy Award nominee, in the title role. The revival brings renewed focus to one of the most iconic female leads in American drama.

The creative team includes movement direction by Steven Hoggett (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), original music by composer Nicholas Britell (Succession, Moonlight), scenic design by Christine Jones and Bret Banakis, costumes by Paul Tazewell, lighting by Natasha Katz, and sound design by Nevin Steinberg. Presented by St. Ann’s Warehouse, the production situates a canonical text within a bold, contemporary staging.
