August: Osage County at PlayhouseSquare - April 13-25, 2010

April 13-25, 2010
Steppenwolf's August: Osage County is a grand, gripping new play which tells the story of the Westons, a large extended clan that comes together at their rural Oklahoma homestead when the alcoholic patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and astonishing secrets, the family must also contend with matriarch Violet, a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storm. August: Osage County is a rare theatrical event - a large-scale work filled with unforgettable characters, a powerful tale told with unflinching honesty.

Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award® for BEST PLAY, August: Osage County is written by Tracy Letts and directed by Anna D. Shapiro. The New York Times cheers, “August: Osage County is flat-out, without qualification, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years," and Time Magazine named August: Osage County the "#1 Show of the Year!"

I just saw this in Boston. LOVED IT SO MUCH! my college will hopefully be doing it next semester. each act did not feel like one hour each, because i got so wrapped up in the story and the characters.
