Set in 2008, the play follows four Iranians who gather three times a week for a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) class in Karaj, Iran. As the class gradually descends into a linguistic mess, some students cling tightly to their mother tongue, while others embrace the opportunities a new language offers. This quietly powerful play illustrates how learning a foreign language can reflect deeper struggles, alter identities and open doors to new lives.
