  1. 1. Anna In The Tropics by Nilo Cruz

    Set in 1929 in a Cuban-American cigar factory in Florida, the play explores the impact of mechanization and modernity on tradition and the lives of the factory workers. As a new lector is hired to entertain the workers by reading literature while they roll cigars, he chooses to read "Anna Karenina," which resonates deeply with the workers, stirring their emotions and desires. The story of the Russian classic becomes intertwined with their lives, leading to conflicts, romances, and personal revelations that mirror the tumultuous passions of Tolstoy's characters, ultimately challenging the characters to reflect on their own destinies and the changing world around them.
