About English

‘In this room, we are native speakers. We think in English. We laugh in English. Our inhales, our exhales – we fill our lungs in English.’

A classroom in Iran. Four adult classmates grapple with learning English as a foreign language. As they attempt to perfect their accents, pronunciation and vocabulary, they realise that there is more to their lives than can ever be uttered through language.

This comic and deeply moving play by Sanaz Toossi won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2023.

Playwright and Director Diyan Zora directs. Recent work includes Mom, How Did You Meet The Beatles (Chichester) and Tom Fool (Orange Tree Theatre).

Transferring direct from its European premiere at Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Other Place Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, English is presented in association with Kiln Theatre.

Clever, Delightful, Great Writing, Intelligent, Thought-Provoking

See it if You like plays with strong, intelligent narratives (within a single room). This is quirky and bittersweet. Sharp script - witty and layered.

Don’t see it if You like razzmatazz! This is all about language, its power and the variety of perspectives it evokes. Marvellous production.
