Anna in the Tropics

This poignant and poetic Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Nilo Cruz captures 1929 Florida at a time when 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 reads aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and the "e;American Dream"e; prove a volatile combination.
