* Guardian (2018) *'Fiercely disturbing, Killer Joe never loses its power to hold your attention'
* WhatsOnStage *'A tense, gut-twisting thriller ride in the theatre. An astonishing piece of work'
* Chicago Tribune *'A brilliant play'
* Guardian *'An immensely entertaining pop artifact. Written with neon-lit flamboyance'
* New York Times *
