Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama"A tremendous achievement in American playwriting: a tragicomic populist portrait of a tough land and a tougher people."-"Time Out New York""Tracy Letts' "August: Osage County" is what O'Neill would be writing in 2007. Letts has recaptured the nobility of American drama's mid-century heyday while still creating something entirely original."-"New York" magazineOne of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, "August: Osage County" is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest-and absolute worst. When the patriarch of the Weston clan disappears one hot summer night, the family reunites at the Oklahoma homestead, where long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed. The three-act, three-and-a-half-hour mammoth of a play combines epic tragedy with black comedy, dramatizing three generations of unfulfilled dreams and leaving not one of its thirteen characters unscathed. After its sold-out Chicago premiere, the play has electrified audiences in New York since its opening in November 2007.Tracy Letts is the author of "Killer Joe," "Bug," and "Man from Nebraska," which was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. His plays have been performed throughout the country and internationally. A performer as well as a playwright, Letts is a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, where "August: Osage County" premiered.
##每個人的背後都有著一段激勵掩藏的過去。即使是母女、姐妹、母子、夫妻,沒有戳破的假象,到底該如何維持?而當假象一個個被戳穿,大打齣手應該就是第一反應瞭吧?
評分##沒看過play直接讀的劇本,一個本來就有夠亂的傢庭因為各種背叛最終四分五裂
評分##Whatever was disappearing had already disappeared
評分##傢庭撕逼狗血劇,跟Long Day's Journey into Night差遠瞭。一句颱詞總結中心思想:We're all just people, some of us accidentally connected by genetics, a random selection of cells. Nothing more. 看到一句話忍不住眼紅,大概是最想跟前男友說的吧 die after me, all right? I don't care what else you do, where you go, how you screw up your life, just... survive. Outlive me, please.
評分##最近經常覺得東西方思想差異真是太大瞭。其實我挺煩這種故事的,一點都不節製,如果看劇一定會覺得吵死瞭。
評分##東尼獎最佳劇本。美國中西部傢庭故事,女性角色動人。
評分##《八月奧色治郡》是那種典型的精心設計的優秀美國戲劇,在這個熱得逼人瘋的傢裏,所有標題黨式的情節模塊紛至遝來。整齣戲充滿瞭punch line,反轉式情節安排在最正確的時間,真是一場好戲。傢庭的分崩同時暗自對應著美國社會的種種問題,藉此本戲有瞭諷世的意義。問題在於,這種嚴肅的思想性實在太有設計感,我想這就是為什麼本劇的電影版並不成功。
