If you are in New York from January 14 to 25 you can go see the Pulitzer Prize winning play “English” for free. The folks behind the Duolingo English Test will pay for your tickets!
Set in Iran in 2008, the play tells the story of four students preparing to take the TOEFL test. The action is set entirely within their classroom. It has a lot to say about how being understood (or not) can impact our well-being. “English” is a very touching work, but at times also very funny.
I’ve mentioned the play quite a few times in this space, starting in early 2022 when it debuted. Sadly, I’ll be a continent away (as always) and won’t be able to claim my free seat… but I highly recommend that anyone with an interest in this sort of thing make the trip to Broadway.
