Superior Donuts
Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre
June 19 - Aug. 17
Tracy Letts is having quite a year. His excoriating family drama August: Osage County, now on Broadway, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and has the inside track for this year’s Tony Award for Best Play. Now the Oklahoma-born actor-playwright is returning in triumph to his home base, Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, with a new play, about the white owner of a run-down Chicago donut shop and the black teenager who works for him. An update of Chico and the Man? Judging by Letts's always provocative work (he also wrote Killer Joe, Bug and The Man from Nebraska), Superior Donuts will offer considerably more to chew on.
