An emotionally conflicted wife. A charming outsider. A bitter outcast determined to get revenge.

While the character types featured in the play “Anna in the Tropics” may sound familiar, the characters themselves are layered and, this weekend, will be brought to life onstage for Spanish-speaking audiences in metro Atlanta.

After completing six English-speaking performances in August, the Doraville Civic Center will return to the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama for three performances done fully in Spanish.
