Anna Christie: Love, Secrets, and the Sea

In this stirring adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Lux Radio Theatre presents Anna Christie: Love, Secrets, and the Sea, starring Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy. When Anna reunites with her estranged father, a coal barge captain, the sea carries not only the scent of reconciliation but also the weight of Anna’s hidden past.
