A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harbouring shady little secrets.

After a sell-out run at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, "August: Osage County" has been hailed on Broadway as the 'best American drama of the past decade' ("USA Today"). Its themes of family secrets and retribution - and its truly epic scope - had critics rushing to declare its author the new Eugene O'Neill.

Rezensionen
This fusion of epic tragedy and black comedy is a bold step for Letts, whose earthy, distinctly contemporary wit flows throughout. His account of a family whose secrets and lies come spilling forth under duress ranks with the best American drama of the past decade." Elysa Gardner, USA Today

In Tracy Letts's 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 accordnot to mention on the decline of American integrity itself." David Rooney, Variety

August will cement Letts's place in theatrical history. He has written a Great American Play. How many of those will we get the chance to discover in our lifetime?" Melissa Rose Bernardo, Entertainment Weekly

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. It is as harrowing a new work as Broadway has offered in years and the funniest in even longer." Eric Gorde, New York Sun
