Language may be the backbone of human communication, but there’s a lot that happens between the lines. Sanaz Toosi’s Pulitzer Prize winner ‘English’ explores what we learn when studying a new language. Director Hamid Dehghani assembles an all-Iranian cast for Goodman Theatre’s Chicago debut of this exciting new play.

When American students take foreign languages in high school, it’s more or less travel lessons. There’s a sense that languages are more of an elective than a necessity. And sadly, most adults don’t retain much of their high school French after graduation—even those who travel extensively. The world reinforces the idea that English is the dominant international language and that the West is the dominant culture. Though history would tell us this is a relatively new idea.

Sanaz Toossi’s play takes place entirely in an Iranian classroom in which four students of various ages are learning the notoriously difficult English language. Each character has their own consequential reason for learning English. Marjan (Roxanna Hope Radja) teaches more than sentence structure to her students: Goli (Shadee Vossoughi), Roya (Sahar Bibiyan), Omid (Pej Vahdat) and Elham (Nikki Massoud)—she’s teaching them hope for a better future.
