May 29-June 29, 2014

George, a renowned linguist, is a man lost for words. By day, he labors in his lab to document rare languages before they fade away. At home, he can’t find the right words to keep his wife, Mary, from leaving. And George is blind to how his lab assistant, Emma, feels about him.

Meanwhile, in the lab are Alta and Resten, the last two speakers of a dying tongue. George yearns to hear them speak in Elloway, but the couple won’t stop having arguments, which they will conduct only in English, “the language of anger.” As Resten puts it, “Say mean, hateful, ugly thing—this is what English is perfect for!”

Can these characters find the right words to say what’s in their hearts?
