USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Pulitzer-Winning Comedy August: Osage County
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)
Sure, the original production won the Pulitzer … and five Tonys … and The New York Times called it “flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years,” but August: Osage County garnered an even higher honor: Meryl Streep starred in the film adaptation. And the ultimate source of all this acclaim is Tracy Letts’ hilarious, haunting and absolutely unforgettable script. Populated with tour-de-force characters like Violet, the prescription drug-addicted, chain-smoking, acid-tongued matriarch, August: Osage County blows Tolstoy’s famous dictum about families to pieces. The Weston family is not “unhappy in its own way” — it’s unhappy in a million different ways, all of them fascinating. Now you can see a new take on this instant classic at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga.
