That Tracy Letts guy can write a little bit, for sure.
That's funny, sounds like you both enjoyed that evening. I just read "August: Osage County" has been made into a film as well, directed by John Wells. Set for a November release, with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Juliette Lewis. Will be checking that one out, looks like Tracy Letts is making quite a name for himself.
