Anna Christie has found something on the water she never thought possible: a man who wants her, and a version of herself she might be able to live with. But Mat Burke is a Catholic Irishman with an absolute faith in honour, and Anna has not told him the truth about her past. When she does, the consequences are as violent and as tender as the sea itself. Eugene O'Neill's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama reaches its conclusion in a final reckoning between three people who have spent their lives running from the truth, and must now decide whether love is worth the cost of honesty. Adapted for radio by Lucy Catherine. Story of America is a major collection of dramatisations of milestone American titles marking 250 years since the Declaration of Independence and the foundation of the United States. Anna . . . . .
