“English Only.” This one rule governs language instructor Marjan’s classroom, where she teaches four adult students outside of Tehran. Together, they leapfrog through a linguistic playground, chasing fluency through a maze of word games, listening exercises, and show-and-tell sessions. They hope that one day English will make them whole. But it might be splitting each of them in half. Sanaz Toossi’s Pulitzer Prize-winning English is a disarmingly funny and tender play about the foibles of language and miscommunication. Make sure you’re marked as “present” for a work Variety calls “undeniably one of the best plays of the decade,” when it makes its Denver debut in spring 2026.
