August: Osage County Tracy Letts

I really liked the way this production of Lett's gripping play captures the tenor of rural Oklahoma. Its penetrating exploration of how rural life traps and suffocates the "thinking classes" does not let the protagonists off easily. The play hands indicts these characters for falling too easily into thinking their so-called intellectual superiority granted them moral license.

The cast was superb.

Recommend. Enthusiastically.
