Tracy Letts
Shocking secrets emerge after the father’s disappearance
Premiere 11. 4. 2026
One of the most critically acclaimed contemporary plays, awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2008, is a captivating tragicomedy. The father has disappeared. The mother, both charismatic and unbearable, has been left alone. Three daughters, an aunt, and other relatives gathered at the family home to deal with the situation. But instead of reconciliation, old wounds, long-standing grievances, and carefully guarded secrets come to the surface. Everyone has something to hide. And as tensions rise, masks fall – with humour, irony, and bitter honesty.
In this brilliantly written play, the American playwright Tracy Letts masterfully blends humour with drama to show that one’s family can sometimes be more of a battlefield than a safe harbour. August: Osage County is a theatrical experience that fascinates, moves, and entertains all at once.
