Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama & Tony Award for Best Play ...

One of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, this is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest and absolute worst

When the patriarch of the Weston clan disappears one hot summer night, the family reunites at the Oklahoma homestead, where long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed

The three-act, three-and-a-half-hour mammoth of a play combines epic tragedy with black comedy, dramatizing three generations of unfulfilled dreams and leaving not one of its thirteen characters unscathed

After its sold-out Chicago premiere, the play has electrified audiences in New York since its opening in November 2007

'Sensationally entertaining ... Tracy Letts' fiercely funny, turbo-charged tragicomedy is, flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years' ~ New York Times
