In 2010 Sydney Theatre Company is playing host to legendary Chicago-based Steppenwolf Theatre, which is arguably the finest ensemble company in the US, made up of 43 actors, directors and playwrights. Steppenwolf is made for actors by actors and frollicks in the sea of American realism.

Tracy Letts held up a magnifying glass to American society, revealing its dysfunction, secrets and lost idealisms. Embodying a tragic tale which is deeply moving, Letts' epic play August: Osage County is, to say the least, a 'must-see'.

Exploring the domestic arena of habits, falsities and pure disintegration, August transports you to a home that disembodies its title. Having amazed audiences on Broadway, Sydney now holds this Pulitzer Prize-winning play close to its bosom to nurture and astound audiences with.

Grab a seat, play voyeur and fall in love with this heroic 3 hour presentation of life and family.
