The London cast includes: Steppenwolf ensemble members Ian Barford as Little Charles, Gary Cole as Steve Heidebrecht, Mariann Mayberry as Karen Weston, Amy Morton as Barbara Fordham, Sally Murphy as Ivy Weston, Jeff Perry as Bill Fordham and Rondi Reed as Mattie Fay Aiken, with Deanna Dunagan as Violet Weston, Kimberly Guerrero as Johnna Longwell, Michael McGuire as Beverly Weston, Paul Vincent O'Connor as Charlie Aiken, Molly Ranson as Jean Fordham and Troy West as Sheriff Deon Gilbeau.

Ian Barford, Deanna Dunagan (Tony® Award – Best Actress), Kimberly Guerrero, Mariann Mayberry, Amy Morton (Tony® Nomination – Best Actress), Sally Murphy, Jeff Perry, Rondi Reed (Tony Award® – Best Featured Actress) and Troy West all appeared in the original Chicago and Broadway casts of August: Osage County.

Michael McGuire and Molly Ranson appeared in the Broadway cast of August: Osage County.

The National Theatre production features the original Chicago and Broadway design team:  Todd Rosenthal (sets, Tony® Award – Best Scenic Design), Ana Kuzmanic (costumes), Ann G. Wrightson (lights, Tony® Nomination – Best Lighting Design), Richard Woodbury (sound), David Singer (original music) and Chuck Coyl (fight choreography).

August: Osage County tells the explosively funny tale of the Weston clan, triggered by the recent disappearance of the family patriarch.  With rich insight and brilliant humor, Letts' critically-acclaimed play paints a vivid portrait of a Midwestern family at a critical turning point.
