Heartbreak House follows the unlikely romantic encounters that occur in an estate on the English countryside. Romance springs ever eternal but never mutual, and the only stable marriages have the least to do with love.

Heartbreak House marks Philip Bosco�s 13th Roundabout Theatre Company production, having last been seen in the Tony nominated production of Twelve Angry Men for which he received a Tony nomination for Best Actor. In addition, Swoosie Kurtz was seen in Roundabout�s New York premiere of Paula Vogel�s The Mineola Twins and Bryon Jennings has recently been seen in Roundabout�s revivals of A Touch of the Poet and Twelve Angry Men.

Heartbreak House premiered on Broadway on 20 Nov 1920 at the Garrick Theatre. The show has since been revived three times on Broadway, in 1938, 1959 and 1983. The most recent revival opened on 7 Dec 1983 at the Circle in the Square Theatre starring Philip Bosco as 'Mangan', Rosemary Harris as 'Hesione Hushabye', Rex Harrison as '�Captain Shotover' and Dana Ivey as 'Lady Utterwood'.

Roundabout Theatre Company has a long association with George Bernard Shaw�s work, having staged over twenty productions since 1971 including Heartbreak House in 1979. The most recent Shaw plays seen on Roundabout stages include Major Barbara (2000-2001, dir. Daniel Sullivan), Arms and the Man (1999-2000, dir. Roger Rees), You Never Can Tell (1997-1998) and Misalliance (1996-1997).
