ABOUT THE SHOW
Marjan thinks it's one of the greatest things two people can do together: speak English.
But her motley class of adult learners each have their own relationship to this new language - for some it means opportunities abroad for others a way to grow closer to grandchildren.
Whatever their motives these strangers will find tensions flaring connections forming and unspoken truths emerging as they hurtle towards their final exam.
A small classroom in Iran is the birthplace for a big-hearted comedy in which the laughs fly thick and fast.
From the absurd conversations you'll only hear in a language lesson to the hilarity of serious subjects lost in translation English is a masterclass in contemporary playwriting and features a lovingly rendered ensemble of characters that will carve out a place in your heart.
Directed by our Resident Director Tasnim Hossain (I Wanna Be Yours) and starring Osamah Sami (ABC's Savage River) English explores the choices that people who seek a new home must make and all that they lose and gain along the way.
