Notes

ENGLISH (2026): REVIEWS - “Minerva Khodabande bounces between emotional extremes as the livewire Goli, the youngest student” - Sydney Morning Herald - “Eighteen-year-old Goli hopes English will allow her to reinvent herself, and Minerva Khodabande is splendid in the role, capturing with comic excellence the awkwardness and optimism of youth.” - Theatre Red - “Minerva Khodabande delivers a beautiful performance as Goli, full of humour and tenderness.” - The Scoop - “Minerva Khodabande’s effortless charm as Goli provides necessary luminosity, her youthful exuberance offering fleeting respite from the production’s heavier thematic weight” - Suzy Goes See - “Khodabande is a beacon of joy on the stage, imbuing Goli with a burning optimism that shines in her scenes.” - Theatre Thoughts “Minerva Khodabande as Goli injects the play with the uplifting moments of comedy it very much needs to survive" - SUDS "
