August: Osage County
 

Belvoir brings to the stage one of the monumental plays of the 21st century, August: Osage County, a Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning tragicomedy by American playwright Tracy Letts from 9 November to 15 December.

Pawhuska, Oklahoma, 2007. Charismatic poet-patriarch Beverly Weston has gone – where, nobody knows. His wife Violet careers downhill into opiate addiction, and the three daughters dutifully return to their childhood home, spouses, children and unfinished business trailing behind. The family’s (almost) together -for the first time in years.

Of course, old wounds have to be dressed, but there are even deeper secrets sitting right there at the table. And what erupts is as uproarious as it is scarifying.
