Language, Connection, And Finding Your Voice
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.
