"I'd
bet the farm that no family has ever been as unhappy in as many ways—and to
such sensationally entertaining effect—as the Westons of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY,
a fraught, densely plotted saga of an Oklahoma clan in a state of
near-apocalyptic meltdown. Fiercely funny and bitingly sad…[a] turbo-charged
tragicomedy…" —NY Times. "In Tracy Letts' ferociously entertaining
play, the American dysfunctional family drama comes roaring into the
twenty-first century with eyes blazing, nostrils flaring and fangs bared, laced
with corrosive humor so darkly delicious and ghastly that you're squirming in
your seat even as you're doubled-over laughing. A massive meditation on the
cruel realities that often belie standard expectations of conjugal and family
accord—not to mention on the decline of American integrity itself."
—Variety. "Tracy Letts, in his Broadway debut, creates a hugely ambitious,
highly combustible saga that will leave you reeling. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY may
make you think twice about going home for the holidays…it's a great big
exhilarating gift." —NY Daily News. "Packed with unforgettable
characters and dozens of quotable lines, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a tensely
satisfying comedy, interspersed with remarkable evocations on the cruelties and
(occasional) kindnesses of family life." —NY Sun. "This is a play
that will leave us laughing and wondering, shuddering and smiling, long after
the house lights come back on." —NY Newsday. "This original and
corrosive black comedy deserves a seat at the dinner table with the great
American family plays." —Time Magazine.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman">
