Anna in the Tropics is a 2003 play by Nilo Cruz.The story is set in 1929 in the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa. Santiago is the owner of a cigar factory. He and his wife Ofelia are parents to two daughters, Marela and Conchita. Conchita is married to Palomo, but the marriage is troubled; he's been cheating on her.Everyone in the family works together, hand-rolling cigars the traditional Cuban way. Into this scene comes Juan Julian, a lector. The lector is a person who, in accordance with old Cuban tradition, reads books to the workers in the cigar factory as they roll cigars by hand. Everybody is on board with this tradition except for Santiago's half-brother Cheche, who regards it as an anachronism. The book Juan reads is Anna Karenina. The tale of a tragic Love Triangle triggers strange new emotions in the family.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Good Old Ways | |
| Anna in the Tropics (Theatre) / int_e743ffa9 | comment |
Good Old Ways: A source of conflict. The whole business of cigar factory workers rolling cigars by hand, while someone reads to them to pass the time, is long-standing tradition. Chiche points out that they are wasting money paying a guy who not only isn't doing constructive work, he's also distracting the workers and reducing their productivity. He also wants the business to install automation to increase their output. The rest of the family rejects these ideas. Chiche is symbolic of these new ideas—he is half-Anglo and his real name is "Chester". Juan, the lector with no real business in a cigar factory, is the old ways. | |
