The passion of a coal barge captain's daughter and a handsome sailor takes a tumultuous turn when secrets from her past are revealed. Nobel Laureate Eugene O'Neill won the second of his four Pulitzer Prizes for this heroic classic.(P)2000 L.A. Theatre Works. Produced in Association with KCRW.

Editorial reviews

Eugene O'Neill's 1922 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama (his second of four Pulitzers) may seem, with its slangy dialects, a shade unsubtle to readers today. But listeners probably won't notice, thanks to this excellent, nuanced production. Stacy Keach emphasizes the likable, vulnerable side of a Swedish coal-barge captain reunited after 15 years with his daughter. Keach prevents the father from descending into caricature. Alison Elliot also avoids the stereotype inherent in her part as his man-hating prostitute daughter, and Dwier Brown conveys both innocence and scorn as a young Irish seaman. Atmospheric sound effects are laid in subtly. A saloon-and-sea drama, this early O'Neill triumph has deservedly found a rich, new life.

The live performance was beautifully created. The acoustics and subtle effects were excellent. Continue to listen it every couple of years.

Enjoy!

The story told here is very compelling. Anna was forced into circumstances she did not choose. Her father was not there for her to support her or guide her. She never met her mother. Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know and the life we were given is what we know. This story can help many people understand that and no matter what circumstances we experience, we are magnificent beings and when a good heart is present, that is the cleanest gift. No matter what we have done or have been forced into, we are worthy to receive. Anna at her core was a wonderful human being. She did what she had to do to survive. She was deserving of everything that came to her in the end.🥰

Great listen!

Enjoyed the well crafted production. The ambient sounds were only enough and not obtrusive.

The story so captured the area and time. A good production- really enjoyed it.

The story itself is really fascinating, and the cast really adds to it. This is an all around classic work. I can't imagine anyone unsatisfied with this book.

Great book, great performances

I’ve read a few Eugene O’Neil plays and, while I liked this one the most, I’ve learned for me his work isn’t nearly as strong as Miller and Ibsen. I’m sure many people will disagree, which is of course only a matter of preference. It’s a quick listen and definitely worth it if you enjoy his plays, but be aware that the sound isn’t great, so you might need to hit rewind . It’s particularly hard to hear Mr. Keach, who does a solid Swedish accent. The acting is top notch though.

Good Acting, but Recording was so so
