A review by precaf
August: Osage County by Tracy Letts

3.0

I know this is a very well-regarded play, but it is really cruel revenge on a cruel, dying woman who ruins the lives of everyone in her family and then is left with no one to care about her. There are people like Violet, of course, but her destruction by Letts at the end of his play seems gratuitous. Maybe he had a grandmother like mine.
