About the Show
Roundabout brings ENGLISH, by Sanaz Toossi, home to Broadway, after we co-produced its world premiere with Atlantic Theater Company. Knud Adams (Primary Trust) once again directs this Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the universal foibles of language and miscommunication.
The comedy unfolds in an Iranian classroom where adult English learners practice for their proficiency exam. As they leapfrog through a linguistic playground, their wildly different dreams, frustrations, and secrets come to light. Can they overcome the limits of language to discover what they really want to say?

About the Theatre
Todd Haimes Theatre
227 W 42nd St
New York, NY 10036
Originally named The Selwyn Theatre, The American Airlines Theatre was built in 1918 by producers of the same name. In the 1930s it was converted to a movie house after suffering hard times due to the Great Depression.
The venue was purchased by the Roundabout Theatre Company in the late 1990s. It was extensively renovated and opened as The American Airlines theatre in 2000.
In June 2023, Roundabout announced they would rename the theatre the Todd Haimes Theatre who worked to grow Roundabout for 40 years.
