Description

Sanaz Toossi won the 2023 Pulitzer in Drama for her play, English, a powerful play about four Iranian adults preparing for an English language exam and grappling with how learning a new language may alter their identities and represent a new life. Sanaz takes us behind the scenes as she and her cast and crew prepare to open English on Broadway. Then, she and two-time Pulitzer-winning playwright Lynn Nottage discuss what it means to be a political writer, the ways they’ve incorporated joy and humor into stories about difficult topics, and how they maintain their artistic voices.
