Anna in the Tropics
- Awards: Pulitzer Prize: Drama
- Preview Date: November 4, 2003 Opening Date: November 16, 2003
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.
A beautifully compelling play, braced with humor and heartbreak. Cruz is a seductive storyteller and a supple weaver of dreams. - Variety
