Highlights from Bashir Lazhar @ Barrington Stage Company

Check out some highlighted clips from Barrington Stage Company's American Premiere production of "Bashir Lazhar".

An acclaimed Canadian play, Bashir Lazhar tells the story of a French-Algerian political refugee who is hurriedly hired as the teacher at an elementary school in Montreal for a class of distressed students. His unorthodox teaching methods draw him into surprisingly explosive territory. The 2012 Best Foreign Film Oscar Nominee Monsieur Lazhar is based on this timely and beautifully written play.
