No references found | August: Osage County, Tracy Letts' "rambling and entertaining black comedy involving those essential props of American family life—child abuse, alcoholism, drug dependency, divorce, incest, pedophilia, nymphomania and suicide," as the Observer's John Heilpern called it in his December review, has received a 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This special edition is director Elia Kazan's original cut, featuring those deleted scenes, which embrace the issues of rape, nymphomania and homosexuality.
