There’s No Place Like Home in this brilliant new comic drama by Tracy Letts, author of Killer Joe and Man From Nebraska.

When their patriarch vanishes, the Weston clan must return to their three-story home in rural Oklahoma to get to the heart of the matter. With rich insight and brilliant humor, Letts paints a vivid portrait of a Midwestern family at a turning point.
