August: Osage County by Tracy Letts

Description

August: Osage County follows the Weston family as they unexpectedly converge on their Oklahoman family homestead after their patriarch goes missing. A maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets explode in a play that unflinchingly – and uproariously – explores the dark side of this Midwestern American family. The New York Times described August: Osage County as “fiercely funny and bitingly sad, this turbo-charged tragicomedy…doesn’t just jump-start the fall theater season – ‘August’ throws it instantaneously into high gear.” Good to know: Play contains strong language and intense subject matter, including drug use, suicide, addiction, sexual references, and inter-generational trauma. Intended for mature audiences only, recommended ages of 18 and older. Viewer discretion advised.
