Have you ever wanted to look into another family’s lives without being an intruder? Let’s take a sneak peek at the Westons, a large extended clan in rural Oklahoma. Picture them surrounded by ideal farmland, plenty of farm animals, wide-open spaces, and expanses of beautiful blue skies. Sounds almost like paradise doesn’t it? However, a closer look tells us all is not well in this idealistic setting.
The patriarch is an alcoholic who suddenly disappears – whether thru his own design or by sinister means won’t be revealed here. Violet, the matriarch, has her own set of problems that include popping pills and other unsettling actions. The clan is large enough to include a budding romance, a marriage being torn apart, hidden family lies being uncovered, and the suspenseful outcome of all of these situations running their course!
Given the Tony Award for Best Play in 2008, “August: Osage County” unfolds this drama about the Westons. Tracy Letts is the distinguished playwright, who won the Pulitzer Prize for this play in 2008. Academy Award winner, Estelle Parsons, stars as the unstable, unpredictable Violet.
The Curran Theatre in San Francisco is currently hosting repeat performances. The Curran proudly boasts that its goal is “providing an authentic Broadway experience to San Francisco locals”. There isn’t another theatre in America that is more like a Broadway theatre. The Curran holds the distinction of being used by Hollywood for scenes in the famous movie, “All About Eve”. The interior of the theatre is stunning elegance as evidenced by its many crystal chandeliers.
The next weekend showing for this “must see” play is:
Friday, August 28 at 8 PM
Saturday, August 28 at 2 PM and 8 PM
Sunday, August 29 at 2 PM
