1929 Tampa, Florida: the heart of Cuban America. When the handsome new 'Lector' arrives at a family-run cigar factory to read to the workers, not everyone is as delighted as the women when his novel of choice is the highly emotive Anna Karenina. Pride and passions are already running high as the factory is threatened by the race to industrialise and join the American Dream. In the heat of the crowded factory floor, Tolstoy's words of 19th Century Russian Romanticism inflame desires, insire jealousies and force the familt to look to its future.T1584209788Producer Hampstead Theatre (in association with Caro Newling for Scamp Ltd and Jay Harris).
