WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN DRAMA

In 1929, a handsome lector arrives at one of the last Cuban cigar factories in Tampa to entertain the workers while they hand-roll cigars. But when the lector begins reading Anna Karenina, the passionate, frustrated lives of the characters in the book begin to parallel those of the listeners, leading to jealousy, betrayal and sexual awakening.

“…Cruz claims his place as a storyteller of intricate craftsmanship and poetic power.” Miami Herald
