Anna in the Tropics - DPS ACTING EDITION
5 Male, 3 Female
Nilo Cruz Price: $8.00
Anna in the Tropics is a poignant and poetic new play set in
Florida in 1929 in a Cuban–American cigar factory
Here the 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 them Tolstoy, the tropics and the American dream prove a volatile combination
Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize
“…In Anna in the Tropics, Cruz claims his place as a storyteller of intricate craftsmanship and poetic power … [Cruz] has turned out many wonderful plays — but none more shimmeringly beautiful ” ~ Miami Herald
“In evoking the lost Cuban–American world of a Florida cigar factory
in 1929, Mr. Cruz has created a work as wistful and affectingly ambitious
as its characters. Anna in the Tropis reaches for the artistic
heavens …” ~ NY Times
