About the book: 2014 / ... Beverly Weston, a once famous poet, suddenly disappears. The family gets together, and then it begins... People begin to break each other's hearts. And how they break it: funny and touching, desperate, as if tomorrow is the apocalypse. An ironic story of love, despair and mystery from a Pulitzer Prize winner. The most significant American play produced on Broadway in the last 12 years... “A grand achievement of modern American drama.” Time Out New York “I bet you have never seen a family so unhappy in every way. But at the same time, it is an incredibly entertaining and touching story, rich in characters and events. “August: Osage County” is a saga about an Oklahoma family experiencing its own local apocalypse. A hilariously funny and poignantly sad comedy." The New York Times "This play leaves us smiling and pondering, shuddering and laughing long after the footlights have gone out." Newsday "Extremely entertaining... a truly spirited play." The New York Post Translation: O. Bukhova
