The English Teacher
Linda Sinclair, a 40-year-old literature teacher whose life is completely orderly, is suddenly thrown from her comfort zone when Jason, a talented former student, comes home with dashed dreams. In order to save her talent, Linda is determined to stage Jason's dark script at school—a move that disrupts her life. With sharp humor and Nathan Lane as a flamboyant theater director, this film is a story of risk, hilarious failure and the search for a self-styled happy ending.
