Descripción
Anna in the Tropics is a poignant and poetic play set in Florida 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. Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for two Tony Awards. "The words of Nilo Cruz waft from a stage like a scented breeze. They sparkle and prickle and swirl, enveloping those who listen in both a specific place and time—and in timeless passions that touch us all" - Christine Dolen, Miami Herald April 30 and May 1, 6, 7, 8 // 7 p.m. May 2, 8, 9 // 2 p.m. General Admission, $22; Seniors/Staff, $19; Students, $17 General seating (seating is not reserved).
