August: Osage County

Tracy Letts' comic drama comes to Broadway directly from Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company.

Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Tracy Letts (Killer Joe, Bug), this grand, gripping new play 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 comes directly from its sold-out, critically acclaimed premiere at Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago and will feature the majority of its original cast, including seven Steppenwolf members. With insight and humor, Letts paints a vivid portrait of a Midwestern family at a turning point.
