Summary:Suddenly, like a brutish, wounded animal hurled up from me deep, Jude Law's gasping, soaked, seminaked body heaves itself shuddering on to the deck, skidding down the vertiginoush/ high rake of Paul Wills' astonishingly versatile set O'Neill didn't write the stunningly staged storm scene, but it's crucial to Rob Ashford's visionary staging of "Anna Christie."
