Suddenly Vahid’s past comes rushing back–he’s absolutely convinced that this is the man who violently imprisoned and tortured him and his friends years earlier. Vahid kidnaps the man and enlists a group of former prisoners to help him but they can’t agree on if he is their torturer or not. With the clock ticking, the pressure is building, do they torture him, kill him, or let him go free –and will they be able to live with their decision?

Apr 4, 2026 - Apr 26, 2026
Written by Sanaz Toossi and directed by Knud Adams, “English is a wonder, with unfailing wit, grace, and compassion” (Greg Evans, Deadline). Set in an Iranian classroom where four adult students and their teacher leapfrog through a linguistic playground, this is a funny, stunning triumph about the universal foibles of language and miscommunication. “The result is exquisite.” (Adam Feldman, Time Out New York).
