Heartbreak House Extends Broadway Run for One Week, Through 12/17

The Roundabout Theatre Company's production of George Bernard Shaw's Heartbreak House has announced a one-week extension at the American Airlines Theatre, through December 17. The revival, directed by Robin Lefevre, opened on Broadway to generally strong reviews on October 11.

Heartbreak House follows a weekend in the English countryside on the eve of World War I that becomes a tangle of unlikely attachments and unwanted complications. Romance springs eternal but never mutual, and the most successful relationships have the least to do with love.

The cast includes Philip Bosco Captain Shotover, Swoosie Kurtz Hesione Hushabye, Byron Jennings Hector, Lily Rabe Ellie Dunn, Laila Robins Lady Utterword, Bill Camp Boss Mangan, John Christopher Jones Mazzini Dunn, Gareth Saxe Randall Utterword and Jenny Sterlin Nurse Guinness.
