TRACY LETTS is the author of Killer Joe, Bug and A Man from Nebraska, which was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He is a member of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company, where August: Osage County premiered.
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harbouring shady little secrets. When the extended Weston family is reunited after dad disappears, the Oklahoma household explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling 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.
A hugely-acclaimed black comedy exposing the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
