About the Show
July 13 – August 18, 2024
by SANAZ TOOSSI; directed by HAMID DEHGHANI
In Karaj, Iran, educator Marjan, who perfected her English during a nine-year stint in Britain, strictly maintains an English-only method to ensure her four students pass the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) with flying colors. Everyone has varying motivations, accents and enthusiasm as they pursue fluency together — Marjan included, who feels her own proficiency slipping. After six weeks of trial, error and effort, what they discover about themselves may be the greatest learning curve of all. This Pulitzer Prize-winning new play tenderly explores the realities of the language-learning process and the parts of our identities that are lost and found along the way.
English premiered in March 2022 at the Atlantic Theater Company. The Los Angeles Times called it "gently compassionate" and "emotionally enlightening."
Hamid Dehghani is an accomplished Iranian theater director, playwright and actor. According to Dehghani, "stories like English are able to connect nations, connect people and help us see people as humans."
