I can't rave enough about this play. A deceptively simple play about a TOEFL test prep class in Iran, but in the end you realize there is nothing simple about. Poignantly reminding the audience that language is tied to culture is tied to family, is tied to location is tied to self. At times, funny (in a somewhat uncomfortable, on purpose way), deeply moving and always empathetic, this play is still in the forefront of my mind two years after I saw a production of it, and if you ever get the change to see this piece I highly recommend that you do so!
