Swine Palace goes to ‘Osage County’

Hailed as the greatest American play of the last quarter century, August: Osage County will take you to the “plains” of modern day Oklahoma and into the deep, dark secrets of the Weston family as they gather in an explosive and brutally funny struggle for power that reflects an unsettling view of the American Dream. Winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2008 Tony Award for Best Play, and the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Best New Play, you can catch it beginning tonight at the Shaver Theatre with a “pay-what-you-can” performance.
