...might even call it touching--if the term didn't seem so out of place in Letts' oeuvre. An actor who began writing plays in the early '90s, he has turned out two slices of nasty trailer-park noir, Killer Joe and Bug; one spiritual-quest play with kinky twists, Man from Nebraska; and now, with August, a ferocious, giant-size family drama in which the gathering for Dad's funeral turns into a donnybrook of revelations, recriminations and extreme combat.

...just another minute). I constantly find myself on the treadmill at the gym, staying on past the next commercial to see the promised drama go down.

...time and place to a rural Southern California town in 1978 where military planes and water pollution punctuate the arid desert landscape. Tracing a few months in the life of 12-year-old Ares Ramirez, who lives with his mother and his mentally disabled younger brother Malcolm in a trailer home by the sea, the story is one of alienation and self-discovery. Ares’ childhood and family life are unconventional; his mother eschews the “labels” of psychologists and doctors who would classify Malcolm as “handicapped,” forcing much...

This is partly because the animal rights movement has proven so uninviting to Christians. Peter Singer, whose 1975 book “Animal Liberation” began the modern movement, is an outspoken atheist and proponent of euthanasia. And People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ traveling trailer featuring a model of a vegetarian Jesus seated at the last supper with notable vegetarian “disciples” Paul McCartney and Cesar Chavez didn’t make a great impression when it pulled up at the Southern Baptist Convention last June...
