Special Post-Show Event, April 15, after the 3pm performance. Feminist or Misogynist: Eugene O'Neill and "Anna Christie" A panel discussion with Director Scott Edmiston, O'Neill scholars Steven Bloom & Beth Wynstra, and members of the cast of Anna Christie.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, O'Neill's classic is a surprisingly contemporary play that crackles with fierce physicality, humor, and drama. After a 20-year separation, a coal barge captain (Lyric Stage favorite Johnny Lee Davenport) is reunited with the daughter he unknowingly abandoned to a life of hardship. When Anna falls in love with a shipwrecked sailor, her father and her suitor come to recognize their own culpability in her plight, and all three struggle in their own way for salvation. Following his acclaimed production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Scott Edmiston takes a fresh look at one of America's greatest playwrights.
