| Summary |
This poignant and poetic Pulitzer Prize winning play captures 1929 Florida at a time when 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 reads 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. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance starring: Jimmy Smits as Juan Julian; Onahoua Rodriguez as Marela; Adriana Sevan as Conchita; Alma Martinez as Ofelia; Jonathan Nichols as Palomo and Eliades; Winston Rocha as Santiago; Herbert Siguenza as Cheche. |
