Anna Christie in a Play Reading at the BA
Posted on
Alexandria— The Reference Services Unit is holding its monthly play reading in English on Wednesday, 14 October 2009. Participants will read Anna Christie by Eugene O'Neill.
The play focuses on the problematic relationship between a sailor and the daughter he has not seen for almost twenty years. Their relationship becomes complicated by her romantic involvement with another man of the sea, and her unveiling of her troubled past. In this compelling account of a young woman’s decline and subsequent salvation, O’Neill presents an exploration of family conflict and the harsh reality of women’s lives in the early part of the twentieth century.
The session starts at 16:00 hrs. at the BA Arts and Multimedia Library. Participants should register their names at the General Information Desk at the Library entrance.
