And it’s hard to suppress the suspicion that all you’re experiencing is a power-shower, a few baby spots and a cloudburst taken from a sound archive. It should be impressive but it feels a bit ‘indoors’. And, now, please, cue the sprinkler system. Rob Ashford’s good-looking production compensates for the dramatic shortcomings with a lavish design. ‘’Twas de rage and de woildness ripping troo me soul, so ’twas.’ But there’s less here for Ruth Wilson in the beige role of Anna (who nurses a tragic secret which the programme notes helpfully reveal). And it’s easy to see why he accepted the part. It’s a nice treat for London’s ladyfolk, and gayfolk, who can savour the sculpted musculature of his undulating torso.

And Law, playing de Oirishman, speaks a dialect that’s packed with extra fruity flavours. ‘I svair to Gott, Anna, I don’t font hear it.’ Ruth Wilson’s Anna has a hard-to-place American accent which harbours many a stowaway syllable.
David Hayman’s Chris spits out gnarled Scandinavian curses. Mat Burke, a randy Oirish loon, wants to marry Anna, a winsome worldly blonde, but faces opposition from her narky, knife-wielding dad, Chris.īut never mind the drama, listen to the accents. Set in New York among migrant longshoremen, the script takes ages to get to the point. Anna Christie, an early Eugene O’Neill play, has brought Jude Law to the tiny Donmar Warehouse.
