A review by marbri
August: Osage County by Tracy Letts

4.0

Zowie. The shockers are still reverberating, like a man who was struck by lightning fifteen years ago researching its effects today. Or something. Otherwise, I think A Martinez and Marcy Walker (aka Cruz and Eden) would be well-cast as Barbara and her husband. The experience of reading this, the ka-pows and jolts, in retrospect, is more valuable than what I think back on as the meaning of the play. What are we to do with this, other than have flashbacks to our favorite afternoon soap operas? But still, it was good.
