It’s a long hot rewarding ‘August: Osage County’ for Baldwinsville Theatre Guild (review)
Tracy Letts’ remarkable “August: Osage County” fits the mold of a particularly American type of masterpiece. It has all the drug abuse and family disfunction of Eugene O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey” to much less dour effect. There’s the requisite anger and regret, and before the curtain comes down, a host of family secrets are revealed. At turns howlingly funny, bitter, and searing in its insight, “Osage” requires a brave and skilled ensemble. Happily, the Baldwinsville Theatre Guild and director Adam Shatraw have assembled one.
