    Direct from Broadway, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY stars Academy Award winner Estelle Parsons as Violet Weston, a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman caught in the grip of addiction. When Violet’s alcoholic husband mysteriously disappears, her extended clan reunites at their rural Oklahoma homestead for a big, juicy family showdown that’s as hilarious as it is shocking. Originally created by the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is a rare theatrical event — a large-scale work filled with unforgettable characters, a powerful tale told with unflinching honesty. The Associated Press calls it “An astonishing creation — riveting, extraordinary, and incredibly funny,” and TIME Magazine named AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY the “#1 Show of the Year!”

          Excellent acting/performances, but O'Neill and Williams covered all of this decades ago. I'd rather see something less conventional/more interesting by Sarah Ruhl, etc.

          This is a brilliant play, well staged and well acted. It's long and complicated, but worth every minute. See it!
