I saw August: Osage County on Broadway a few weeks ago. It was AMAZING. One of the best productions I've seen. I loved the set--looked like a dollhouse. I'm not too familiar with Letts's other work, but I look forward to reading more. Yay theatre!

sitting at the computer a single tear rolled down the cheek of the lonely woman who misses the child, now a woman, who obiviously does not miss her a damn bit or else she would have included her mother on the damn list or at least given her an honorable mention........and now she is over it and will just go in the other room and hug the son who will always think she is tops in his books cause she has raised him right!
