Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize! This heartfelt, humorous play follows five strangers in an Iranian TOEFL class as they navigate language, identity, and unexpected friendships. Each brings a personal reason for learning English, discovering along the way what is lost—and found—in translation. While some things may get lost, the human spirit shines through.
The run time is 1 hour and 45 minutes, with no intermission.
