A family in a play by Tracy Letts, one of America's most prominent authors today, is unhappy in many ways, because it is depicted in its all widths of relatives in a form that has almost disappeared in the last fifty years. The form of a tragic drama, which has a classic shape inspired by both by Chekhov and O'Neill or Williams. Letts, however, mastered this family tragedy dynamically, in a modern way, authentically, because he derived it also from his family history, and also with the sense for the fact that every tragic weight can have (and often has) paradoxically light comic traits. The uniqueness of the great family story of the Oklahoma Plains, once ruled by the Indians, is that it takes place today, but it has all the family atavisms that humanity has been carrying along for centuries, regardless of place and time. That is why he will literally appeal to every person, whether they like it or not. In Liberec, we have been introducing this play, rich in various stories of all its characters, and awarded an incredible amount of not only American awards, in the direction of the of the drama head, Šimon Dominik.
