Manville & Martin Star in Pulitzer Play Revival

The critically acclaimed play, August: Osage County, is set to captivate London audiences with a new West End production opening in January 2027. Starring acclaimed actors Lesley Manville as matriarch Violet Weston and Anna Maxwell Martin as Barbara Fordham, the play promises a powerful staging of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. The production will premiere at the Noel Coward Theatre, marking its return to the capital after almost 20 years.

Directed by Jeremy Herrin, this revival aims to bring the darkly funny and gripping family saga to life, resonating with its themes of dysfunction and reconciliation. The play, celebrated as a defining American work, follows the Weston family as they gather at their Oklahoma home for a funeral. Tickets for the highly anticipated run, which concludes in April 2027, will be available starting July 17, 2026.

August: Osage County has a decorated history, having earned six Tony Awards, including Best Play, and was adapted into a film featuring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. Tracy Letts, the playwright, is also recognized for his acting roles in prominent films and television series. This production is expected to be a major theatrical event, offering a fresh perspective on a modern classic.
