Seymour Centre and Outhouse Theatre Co present the Sydney premiere of Pulitzer prize-winning English, by Sanaz Toossi, a wickedly funny and deeply moving look at the chaos of learning a new language. Iran, 2008 In a classroom in Karaj, four students seek to expand their horizons and opportunities by learning English. Over six weeks, their accents, insecurities, ambitions, and loyalties collide—revealing how language can both open doors and sever ties. Seymour favourites, Outhouse Theatre Co (Eureka Day, Consent, Ulster American) are back with an internationally acclaimed play that has captivated audiences around the world with its humour, humanity and razor-sharp insight into language and identity. English becomes a story about transformation, sacrifice, and the emotional cost of learning a language that promises freedom while threatening home.
