About the Play

English





Sanaz Toossi's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the universal foibles of language and miscommunication.


Story:

The comedy unfolds in an Iranian classroom where adult English learners practice for their proficiency exam. As they leapfrog through a linguistic playground, their wildly different dreams, frustrations, and secrets come to light. Can they overcome the limits of language to discover what they really want to say?
