Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize, the Obie Award, and the Lucille Lortel Award. 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.
PRAISE:
“Hands down a masterpiece of theater. Undeniably one of the best plays of the decade, it is both thought-provoking and deeply affecting.”
“Even more so than when it debuted Off-Broadway in 2022, and won the Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 2023, English strikes me as a work of uncommon discipline”
- New York Times, Critic’s Pick
“The cast, without exception, plays every twist, turn, beat and emotion beautifully. English is a wonder.”
“The exquisite Broadway production is the first must-see play of the season.”
“Exquisite.”
