“Anna in the Tropics,” written by Nilo Cruz and  produced in connection with the Latino Theatre Project, opens at Burien Little Theatre on Friday, Aug. 3 and runs through Aug. 26.

This is a poignant and poetic play set in 1929 Florida in a Cuban-American cigar factory. When a new “lector” reads aloud to the factory workers from “Anna Karenina,” he becomes a catalyst for his listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics and the American dream prove a volatile mix. In English.
