SOTTO VOCE In this drama by Nilo Cruz, who won a Pulitzer Prize for “Anna in the Tropics,’’ a Jewish researcher from Cuba, portrayed by Jaime Carrillo, makes contact with a famed author, played by Annette Miller, who was originally from Berlin. The researcher is seeking information about an ocean liner — carrying hundreds of German Jews in flight from the Nazis — that was turned away by Cuba and the US in 1939. The author’s first love was aboard that boat, and painful memories begin to surface. Directed by Daniel Gidron. Aug. 18-Sept. 11. Shakespeare & Company, Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre, Lenox. 413-637-3353, www.shakespeare.org
