Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts presents “Anna in the Tropics,” the second show of the 2022 Mainstage Season. The sultry and passionate love story by Nilo Cruz, directed by Marcos Santana, began previews this week and runs through July 24.
Nilo Cruz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Anna in the Tropics,” centers on a sultry and steamy cigar factory in 1929 Tampa, Florida, where the lives of a Cuban-American family are challenged by the vices and temptations that surround them. The factory owner, Santiago, wrestles with a gambling addiction that’s emboldened by his half-brother, while his daughters, unhappy in their respective relationships, long for the affection of the factory’s handsome lector. Romance, lust, and jealousy collide as the family confronts the discontent in their lives, as a wave of modernization threatens to dispel the very traditions they hold dear. The production is directed by Marcos Santana.
