August Osage County is on tour and hits the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, GA
Meet the Westons - A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets.
When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you’ve got a major new Broadway play that unflinchingly - and uproariously - exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
Fresh from a thrilling, sold-out run at Chicago's Tony Award-Winning Steppenwolf Theatre, August: Osage County had audiences riveted and critics raving. This thrilling new play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Tracy Letts (Bug, Killer Joe) has been hailed by The New York Times as “hugely entertaining! A ripsnorter full of blistering, funny dialogue, acid-etched characters and scenes of no-holds-barred emotional combat.”
Now New York gets to meet the Westons in the Broadway debut of a major American playwright.
Anna D. Shapiro (The Pain and the Itch) directs the "dazzling good" ensemble in what Variety calls "a deep and highly entertaining work, consistently rich, raw and intense, filled with viciousness and vicious wit."
Audience: August: Osage County is recommended for audiences ages 18 and older. Children under 4 years of age will not be admitted.
Run time: 2 hours 20 minutes with one 15 minute intermission
