Steppenwolf's August: Osage County is a grand, gripping new play that tells the story of the Westons, a large extended clan that comes together at their rural Oklahoma homestead when the alcoholic patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and astonishing secrets, the family must also contend with matriarch Violet, a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storM. Starring Estelle Parsons as Violet, this is one of those rare theatrical events that blends a large-scale production with unforgettable characters, a talented cast, and a powerful tale told with unflinching honesty. Raves Charles Isherwood of the New York Times, "This isn't theater-that's-good-for-you theater. It's theater that continually keeps you hooked with shocks, surprises, and delights, although it has a moving, heart-sore core."
