Description
English by Sanaz Toossi is a Pulitzer Prize-winning drama that explores the complexities of language and identity. In 2008, four Iranians gather for a TOEFL class in Karaj, Iran, led by an anglophile teacher who abolishes Farsi from her classroom. As they navigate the challenges of English, they discover how to be funny and ponder what they will lose in the process. The students' linguistic journey slowly devolves into chaos, with some clinging to their mother tongue and others embracing the possibilities of a new language. This powerful play delves into the tensions between tradition and innovation, highlighting the complexities of cultural identity. Through its nuanced exploration of language and belonging, English offers a thought-provoking commentary on the human experience.
