"Like another stage play In Julia Cho’ s The Language Archive, Cho uses elements of magic realism to tell the story of a man obsessed with preserving languages although he has trouble communicating with his own wife. If magic realism on stage sounds familiar, you’ ve probably seen some of the plays of multi-awarded playwright, Sara Ruhl, whose works are replete with magic realism." - Click here to read the full review.SYNOPSIS - ABOUT THE SHOW
Roundabout commissioned The Language Archive, which won the 2010 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize awarded to an outstanding new English-language play by a woman. The Language Archive
is a poignant and quirky comedy that seems to prove love is the one
language that can leave us all at a loss for words. George is a man
consumed with preserving and documenting the dying languages of
far-flung cultures. Closer to home, though, language is failing him. He
doesn't know what to say to his wife, Mary, to keep her from leaving
him, and he doesn't recognize the deep feelings that his lab assistant,
Emma, has for him.
