Nilo Cruz鈥檚 Pulitzer-prize winning masterpiece has been hailed by The New York Times as 鈥渁 hymn to the transforming and potentially dangerous powers of art.鈥� In Ybor City, Florida, 1929, cigars are rolled by hand as factory workers listen to the charged voices of lectors reading from newspapers, political pamphlets, and great works of literature. When a handsome lector arrives from Cuba, he brings with him a copy of Anna Karenina, igniting a powder keg of passions. As an industrial revolution looming on the horizon, Tolstoy, the tropics, and the American dream prove an intoxicating, volatile combination.
Directed by Marcela Lorca
