August: Osage County |
New York |
The
2008 winner of five Tony Awards including Best Play and Best
Leading Actress in a Play (Deanna Dunagan), August: Osage
County is based on the 2008
Pulitzer Prize for Drama written by Tracy Letts. The New York Times
calls it "hugely
entertaining! A ripsnorter full of blistering, funny dialogue,
acid-etched characterizations and scenes of no-holds-barred
emotional combat."
The Weston clan returns to its oversized rural Oklahoma home to
sort out what happened to their disappeared family patriarch. The
writer produces fresh sources of insight, humor and anguish in the
highly dysfunctional dynamics of an American family. It’s
theater that keeps you hooked with shocks, surprises and
delights, although it has a moving, heart-sore core.
Cast members include Ian Barford, Deanna Dunagan, Kimberly
Guerrero, Francis Guinan, Brian Kerwin, Madeleine Martin, Mariann
Mayberry, Michael McGuire, Amy Morton, Sally Murphy, Jeff Perry,
Rondi Reed, and Troy West.
The performance time, with two intermissions, runs 3 hours and 20
minutes.
