In sum, this production rises to the challenge in nearly every way. It’s one to be seen.
“There are moments of great joy in discovering that our combined ideas work in execution.

For all the fire-breathing, balled-fist bellowing and insult-imbibing wrath conjured up in Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” it all melts down to merely hollow trumpeting compared to Letts’ explosive masterpiece.
Keegan has produced a gripping and delicate portrayal of a family on the brink. Three and a half hours dripping in the weighty heat of conflict and resolution has never felt more refreshing.
…the Keegan Theatre has the director and The Acting Company to serve the play and demonstrate what a masterpiece AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY really is.
Packed with dysfunctional-family melodrama and satisfying zingers, “August: Osage County” chronicles the clashes and revelations that roil Violet’s household after her husband, Beverly, an alcoholic poet, mysteriously disappears.
The Helen Hayes Awards has recommended Keegan’s production of August: Osage County, now playing through September 2!
This play is in three acts, and is three hours and forty minutes long. When it ended, I wanted some more. Brothers and sisters, that’s good theater.
The Keegan Theatre is presenting a production of this play that is nothing short of inspired.
