The Broadway play follows one volatile Oklahoma family in the aftermath of its patriarch’s unexplained disappearance. Clocking in at more than three hours, the play began to attract buzz during its premiere performances at the Steppenwolf Theater last summer.
After it transferred to the Rialto in the fall, the Steppenwolf production went on to become the be notable straight play of the Broadway season, picking up five Tonys and a Pulitzer.
