I recently went to the National Theatre to see a production brought over from Broadway called August: Osage County. Not the most brilliantly titled play, but don’t judge a play by its title. This is awesome.
Centring on the disappearance of the patriarch of a Southern American Country House, a gripping and brilliant family drama unfolds which demands comparisons to Tennessee Williams. Leaving behind his drug-addicted and cancer-riddled wife, and a housekeeper, slowly the family come to give support. Out of this seemingly innocuous setting explodes a drama of high tension and nail-biting twists, all set in the one house. With knockout performances and a wonderful dolls-house set, this is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, and makes going to the theatre completely worthwile.
