Bashir Lazhar is the eager substitute teacher for a grade six class reeling from the death of their teacher. Dispensing with conventional wisdom, he has his own ideas about what’s best for his precocious new students. Written by renowned Quebec playwright Evelyne de la Chenelière, this poetic script is translated by Morwyn Brebner who brought us The Optimists.
