This Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells the story of Cuban exiles working in a cigar factory in Ybor City (Tampa) Florida in 1929. When a new lector, perhaps the last to ply his trade, is hired, their lives are forever altered. As the lector reads from Anna Karenina, he casts a spell over the workers, transforming their passions and desires through the affirming power of art. That the love they seek may result in a tragic end is ordained as much by the story of the Russian noblewoman Anna as it is by the actions of the workers themselves.
