This poetic drama by Pulitzer Prize-winner Nilo Cruz is set in Florida circa 1929 in rundown confines of a Cuban-American cigar factory, where cigars are still rolled by hand and well-dressed "lectors" are employed to read to laborers while they toil. In Anna in the Tropics, a lector arrives straight off the boat from Cuba, and choice of literature, Tolstoy's classic Anna Karenina, unwittingly stirs the dreams and emotions of his avid listeners, leading to a real-world explosion of passion that changes the lives of all involved. See this captivating 2003 Pulitzer Prize winner in drama when Anna in the Tropics comes to the Barn Theatre in Ross.
