Jennifer Stars in August: Osage County
NZ Herald: "...hugely entertaining and emotionally riveting. ...Jennifer Ludlam anchors the show with what could be a career-defining performance. ...Equally impressive is Jennifer Ward-Lealand as the rebellious daughter..."
NBR: "...teeters on a knife-edge between bleak tragedy and black comedy...Jennifer Ward-Lealand as the older sister Barbara gives a gripping and gritty depiction..."
Theatreview: "...harrowing comedic drama...standing ovation...leaves the audience buzzing with excitement. ...thirteen characters we can care about...each wielding their own array of self-importance, empathy, anger, tenderness, pain and joy".

Beverly Weston is an academic and poet of some renown. When he suddenly goes missing, the clan gather at their family home in Osage County, Oklahoma, to confront their secrets, lies, abberations and the lacerating tongue of Beverly's wife, Violet.
Three acts and enough revelations to power several soap operas, August: Osage County is a corrosively funny, brilliant, bitter indictment on where the American Dream went wrong.
