INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Repertory Theatre (IRT) is bringing the Pulitzer Prize–winning play English, by Sanaz Toossi, to its Janet Allen Stage March 10-April 14. The production is directed by Azar Kazemi, a director and educator based in Chicago, who is making her IRT debut.
“English only” is the mantra that rules a classroom in Iran where four adults prepare for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). But while a new language may represent a new life, how will it alter their identities? This inspirational play shows that there is more to life than can be spoken in mere words and provides a thoughtful and heartfelt exploration of the human desire to belong.
In addition to winning the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, English’s Broadway run received four Tony nominations, three Drama League nominations, and won one Theatre World award.
Tickets are available now for English by Sanaz Toossi online at IRTlive.com. Tickets start at $27 or by calling the ticket officeat 317-635-5252.
