“Plenty of pitch-black humour…this sprawling family drama is both captivating and terrifying in its authenticity” – CBC
"Horrifyingly humorous, and humorously horrifying... Martha Henry, the grande dame of Canadian theatre, is stunning as the venomous Violet." - Winnipeg Free Press
When their patriarch disappears, the Weston clan reunites to deal with the crisis. But with the Westons, family time is blood sport. Leading the way through a minefield of dark secrets, repressed truths and emotional savagery is the pill-popping mommy dearest, who stirs the toxic brew with perverse delight. Rich with insight and crackling humour, August: Osage County has been hailed as the first great classic of the 21st century. Don’t miss the Pulitzer Prize-winning tragic comedy that has audiences riveted and critics raving.
