Anna Christie, four-act play by Eugene O’Neill, produced in 1921 and published in 1922, during which year it was also awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

The title character, long separated from her bargemaster father, is reunited with him in adulthood. Not realizing that she has become a prostitute, her sentimental father comes to blows with a seaman who has been smitten by her. When Anna reveals her sordid past, both men abandon her, go their separate ways, get drunk, and unwittingly sign on for the same distant voyage. At the play’s end, Anna has agreed to wait for their return.
