ENGLISH
Written by Sanaz Toossi and directed by Knud Adams, “English is a wonder, with unfailing wit, grace, and compassion” (Greg Evans, Deadline). Set in an Iranian classroom where four adult students and their teacher leapfrog through a linguistic playground, this is a funny, stunning triumph about the universal foibles of language and miscommunication. “The result is exquisite.” (Adam Feldman, Time Out New York).
