"august: osage county"

took a trip to the ahmanson's yesterday with tina-bear.
29 minutes up the 110, exit Temple St. and you'll find yourself at the Center Theatre Group's stage. 
saw August: Osage County, by Tracy Letts.
best piece of theatre i've seen thus far. think it's the way Letts weaves the comic with the tragic that does it. 
disarms you. 
makes you set down the shield, and WHAM!
 - you're on your ass.
great technique - won Letts the Pulitzer in 2008.
