Scene from “English” at the Todd Haimes Theatre Tala Ashe, Hadi Tabbal, Ava Lalezarzadeh, Marjan Neshat and Pooya Mohseni .‘ Publisher and my father, Wilbert “Bill” Tatum, before me. We’ve been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective since 1909 –, the first time in the 125 years of this award it has been given to a Black woman publisher – We are proud to provide no paywall journalism for the Black community we serve, the largest Black and Brown community in the country.
The cast of five actors does a decent job and includes Tala Ashe as Elham; Hadi Tabbal as Omid; Ava Lalezarzadeh as Goli; Marjan Neshat as Marjan and Pooya Mohseni as Roya. The work is directed by Knud Adams. But, again, experiencing theater should make one feel enriched in some way. This production does not do that.'
