“Vulnerable, angry and thoroughly transfixing, [Amy] Morton has forged one of the great theatrical performances of the modern era. Like the rest of this remarkable show, it stares out from the stage with surety and terror.”<\/p>\n
– Chris Jones<\/a>, in his review of the London transfer of August: Osage County<\/em> in the Chicago Tribune’s Theatre Loop<\/p>\n “You know you\u2019re in for a lively evening when a play about a family reunion includes a fight director among the team. And how satisfying that he\u2019s called Chuck, too.”<\/p>\n – Christopher Hart<\/a> in the Sunday Times<\/p>\n “Maybe Letts invites comparisons, a tad too obviously, with other canonical greats: Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee. But what’s really joyous is his emergent Chekhovian talent for weaving a broad tapestry, depicting a whole extended household. He combines that with pin-sharp detailing which rings painfully true. Amy Morton’s Barbara is unforgettable, howling with grief, then distractedly brushing her hair.”<\/p>\n – Kate Bassett<\/a> in the Independent<\/p>\n “Watching manipulative, mischievous Dunagan, or bruised, angry Morton or brassy Rondi Reed or any of Anna Shapiro\u2019s terrific ensemble, you ruefully ask an obvious question. Could a British cast bring such commitment and conviction to this subversive take on Oklahoma!? Surely not.”<\/p>\n – Benedict Nightingale<\/a> in the Times<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Vulnerable, angry and thoroughly transfixing, [Amy] Morton has forged one of the great theatrical performances of the modern era.
