ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS

ENGLISH

By Sanaz Toosi

Directed by Knud Adams 

​​

English played its final performance on Broadway on March 2, 2025 at the Todd Haimes Theatre (227 W 42nd St.)

​

Roundabout brings ENGLISH, by Sanaz Toossi, home to Broadway, after its world premiere co-production 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?
