Anna in the Tropics

Anna in the Tropics

Presented by Newport Theatre Arts Center (NTAC) at Newport Theatre Arts Center

A Lyrical Drama by Nilo Cruz

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 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. Cruz claims his place as a storyteller of intricate craftsmanship and power. Directed by Michael Serna.
