All signs point to August: Osage County being face-scorchingly great. Tracy Letts's dark family romance, which won the Tony and the Pulitzer and had critics doing backflips from Chicago to New York, is a three-hour-plus epic with 20 actors and all the problems: Mom's on pills, Dad's a disappeared alcoholic, a 50-year-old is molesting his fiancée's niece, siblings are lovers. And it's a comedy—like Tennessee Williams crossed with T. S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men." As read by Jack Black. Or something. I can't wait. (Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St, 1-800-745-3000. 8 pm, $23.50–$63.50. Through Nov 1.)
