THE WATERFRONT PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS AWARD-WINNING PLAY "AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY"

 

Fasten your seat belts Key West - "August: Osage County" begins a four week run December 20th at the Waterfront Playhouse. This dazzling play has won every major theater award, including the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for Best Play. Written by Tracy Letts, "August" has garnered rave reviews that playwrights usually only dream about. The New York Times raved, "'August' is flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years."

 

"August: Osage County" is the story of one family with way too many secrets. When the family patriarch mysteriously disappears, the Weston clan gathers at their rural Oklahoma homestead. Their reunion is rocked when shocking truths are revealed and an emotional Armaggedon erupts. The results are fiercely funny and powerfully moving. Christine Dolen of the Miami Herald raved "This magnificent play manages to be well-made and utterly contemporary. Not to mention hugely entertaining."
