Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama"A tremendous achievement in American playwriting: a tragicomic populist portrait of a tough land and a tougher people."-"Time Out New York""Tracy Letts' "August: Osage County" is what O'Neill would be writing in 2007. Letts has recaptured the nobility of American drama's mid-century heyday while still creating something entirely original."-"New York" magazineOne of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, "August: Osage County" is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest-and absolute worst. When the patriarch of the Weston clan disappears one hot summer night, the family reunites at the Oklahoma homestead, where long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed. The three-act, three-and-a-half-hour mammoth of a play combines epic tragedy with black comedy, dramatizing three generations of unfulfilled dreams and leaving not one of its thirteen characters unscathed. After its sold-out Chicago premiere, the play has electrified audiences in New York since its opening in November 2007.Tracy Letts is the author of "Killer Joe," "Bug," and "Man from Nebraska," which was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His plays have been performed throughout the country and internationally. A performer as well as a playwright, Letts is a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, where "August: Osage County" premiered.

##Ungodly brilliant.
評分##適閤X-mas的傢庭大劇
評分##"August: Osage County is what O'Neill would be writing in 2007". 這句評論太對瞭…
評分##每個人的背後都有著一段激勵掩藏的過去。即使是母女、姐妹、母子、夫妻，沒有戳破的假象，到底該如何維持？而當假象一個個被戳穿，大打齣手應該就是第一反應瞭吧？
評分##狗血劇
評分##沒看過play直接讀的劇本，一個本來就有夠亂的傢庭因為各種背叛最終四分五裂
評分##sharp and adorable, weird euphoria

評分一直覺得作者在寫的時候一直在問自己"如果把某某情況再往前推兩步會導緻什麼結果？”戲劇張力相當棒，每個人的個性都很飽滿。沒啥討喜的不討喜的角色，大傢麵對的問題不一樣而已。
