The Language Archive at Silver Spring Stage

Love gets lost in translation in The Language Archive, an inventive comedy about communication, relationships and Esperanto written by award-winning playwright and screenwriter Julia Cho (Big Love, The Piano Teacher). In it, a brilliant linguist consumed with preserving the dying languages of far-flung cultures faces the potential end of his marriage -- unless he can find the words to stop his wife from leaving. Meanwhile, his archival assistant is mute with adoration for him, and his newest subjects, an elderly couple who are the last speakers of an obscure language, refuse to utter a single word to one another.
