Tracy Letts Books
Tracy Letts is an American playwright and actor whose works delve into characters grappling with profound moral and spiritual questions. His writing is known for its raw intensity and unflinching portrayal of people pushed to their limits, often finding themselves in extreme circumstances. Inspired by the literary traditions of authors like Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner, Letts masterfully employs sound as a powerful storytelling device, crafting impactful and unforgettable theatrical experiences.
This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history's losers. "Certain to be the single work of art that best represents, but will also survive, the Trump era." - Variety "Explosive... Deftly captures the tension of patriotic grandiosity and provincial defensiveness found in city halls across the land." - Chicago Tribune "Astonishing... a pitch-black comedy about the current state of American politics." - Chicago Sun-Times
