The play "Anna in the Tropics" at the V.F. Komissarzhevskaya Theater is a vivid immersion into the atmosphere of America in the late 1920s. The play by Nilo Cruz, awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2003, takes us back to 1929, to a small tobacco factory in the Ibor City area of Tampa.
The story begins with the arrival of a Reader invited from the island to inspire factory workers with literary works. There are a lot of books in his suitcase, but he starts with "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy. "There is more sky here than at home. And so much light. It seems there is simply nowhere to hide here," the reader Juan notices when he arrives. His words become a symbol of the fact that it is impossible to hide from the passions fueled by the events of the novel.
As they read Anna Karenina, the characters of the play begin to try on the images of Tolstoy's characters. Passions flare up, and life at the factory changes forever. The relationship between the characters is becoming more complicated, and each of them is rapidly approaching its finale.
