February 20, 2025 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2023 Obie Award for Best New American Play, and the 2022 Lucile Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, English by Sanaz Toossi takes the stage in Sacramento for the first time.
Set in 2008, this acclaimed drama centers around four Iranians attending a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) class in Karaj, Iran. Under the guidance of Marjan, an anglophile instructor who forbids Farsi in her classroom, the students grapple with translating Ricky Martin lyrics and navigating complex prepositions. As they explore humor in English and consider what they might sacrifice, the class faces challenges and revelations about their identities and future. As some cling to their native tongue, others eagerly embrace the opportunities that a new language presents.
