TL;DR Summary

Sanaz Toossi, a 31-year-old Iranian American playwright, won the Pulitzer Prize in drama for her first produced play, "English," which is about a language test-prep class in Iran. Toossi said the play was about "the pain of being misunderstood, and how language and identity are interwoven." She hopes the Pulitzer win signals to Iranians that their stories matter and that one day soon, the play can be performed in Iran. Toossi is also a member of the Writers Guild of America and is currently on strike.
