Feb. 20 - Feb. 28, 2015
Anna In The Tropics is set in 1929 in a Cuban-American cigar factory where cigars are still rolled by hand and "lectors" are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration, but when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and the American dream prove a volatile combination. With Anna In The Tropics, Nilo Cruz transports audiences with the power of his language, leading us to the depths of his characters' passions.
