ANNA IN THE TROPICS (2003 Pulitzer Prize Winning Play) is a poignant and poetic new 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 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.
Anna In The Tropics premiered on October 12, 2002 at the
New Theatre in Coral Gables, Florida. Soon after it was
performed at the McCarter Theater Center, in Princeton,
New Jersey on September 19, 2003. Two months later on
November 16, 2003 the play transferred to the Royale
Theatre on Broadway after it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama that same year. Repertorio Español produced the World Premiere in Spanish in September 2004.
We hope that the materials collected here will convince teachers to bring their classes to see this insightful and entertaining play. For those teachers who decide to bring their classes, we hope these pages are useful in preparing themselves and their students for the experience. And we especially hope this booklet will allow students who always have been a vital audience to Repertorio Español, to have a much richer and informed theatre-going experience.
Since 1968, Repertorio Español has produced Siglo de Oro classics, romantic dramas, musical reviews, zarzuelas, dances, modern masterpieces, and specially commissioned new plays about the Hispanic American experience. No Hispanic theater in the United States has brought such a broad selection of plays to Spanish speaking audiences. No theater of any kind in this country has kept so many plays current in a revolving repertory. As their many grants and awards prove, Repertorio Español is a national treasure.
Don’t miss the fun and education of seeing great Hispanic plays in the hands of these wonderful, experienced professionals.
Call 212-225-9920 and make arrangements today to bring you students to a special performance of one or both of these plays. |
