Anna in the Tropics is a play by Nilo Cruz. It won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.The play is set in Ybor City a section of Tampa and the center of the cigar industry. When Cuban immigrants brought the cigar-making industry to Florida in the 19th century they carried with them another tradition. As the workers toiled away in the factory hand rolling each cigar the lector (historically well-dressed and well-spoken) would read to them.
