AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

Written by TRACY LETTS

Directed by DAVID PAUSCH

A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoma 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 an amazing play that unflinchingly – and uproariously – exposes the dark side of a Midwestern American family.
