THEATER REVIEW: ANNA IN THE TROPICS * * 1/2 (two and a half stars out of 4).
External link: http://www.playbill.com/events/event_detail/3239.html
This play, about a "lector" that factory workers hire to read to them while they toil, was clever and well-written. But, with the notable exception of Jimmy Smits as the lector, I found the acting so distractingly bad that it took me out of the story. I would say that I can't really tell the difference between a great actor and a mediocre actor. But many of the people on stage were just belting out their lines, giving the same cadence to every word, as though they didn't understand what the words meant, and it made it hard to believe that these things were really happening to these people.
