Description

Not In a large three-story home outside Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in the thick of August heat, a family is caught in a complex web of dysfunctionality. This is the densely plotted saga of the Weston clan, who, with caustic wit, intense loyalty and savage betrayals, confront their personal demons, and each other, through drink, drugs, sexual misbehaviour and twisted entanglements. As three generations delve into the dark secrets of their past, great tenderness is revealed with raw and touching honesty. This fiercely funny black comedy won a Pulitzer in 2008, many Tony Awards on Broadway, and was adapted into an award-winning film starring Meryl Streep.
