Theatre Works' recording of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY for public radio and digital download. The show runs today, July 10-13 at UCLA's James Bridges Theater.

The Weston family gathers during a brutal summer heat wave to provide comfort to their bitter, substance-abusing matriarch and find their missing father. It's an unforgettable theatrical journey that offers a painfully funny look at a family struggling in the desolate heart of America.
