August Osage County

EW.Com has reported that the Tracy Letts play August Osage County will be turned into a major motion picture staring Julia Robers and Meryl Streep.

Before you see it on the big screen go to the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta to see it on stage. August Osage is one of the best piece of American Theatre I have seen in a long time. Every character is so brilliantly written, it is truly a masterpiece. Now, take this amazing script and add a flawless cast you and you have theatre gold. Alliance Theatre Artistic Director Susan Booth has assembled one of the most amazing cast that Atlanta has seen. We have seen these actors together on stage before, but never like this. All of them seemed to be playing against type and yet their roles fit them like a glove.

I encourage everyone to run no really run to the Alliance to see this amazing show featuring Atlanta actors and heavy hitter Brenda Bynum, Jill Jane Clements, Tess Malis Kinkad,Chris Kayser, Del Hamilton, Richard Garner, Courtney Patterson, Carolyn Cook, Bart Hansard, Joe Knezevich, Bethany Anne Lind and Diany Rodriguez.

There are so some shows were you can say oh well it was good and this person was amazing, but every person who stepped foot on that stage brought pure magic. The set was another major player in this tour de force. A two story house that lived and breathed helped ad to the tension and the comedy of this amazing work.

Now I won't spoil anything for those who have never seen the show but at the end of each act I found my self speechless. This show reminds me why I love theatre and has reengaged me in the Atlanta theatre community. Thank you Susan and the cast of August Osage County for making me fall in love with theatre all over again.
