Killer Joe by Tracy Letts

Killer Joe by Tracy Letts

A tense thriller that asks where the moral line is drawn in the fight for survival.

'Letts displays such complete assurance in manipulating the sheer gothic macabre of his material that it’s practically wicked to watch… Killer Joe hits like a sharp splash of ice-cold water, and it's supposed to make you squirm'

* The Arts Desk *

'An exercise in Texan trailer-park Gothic, Killer Joe rams sickening horror and outrageous humour together as it pulls us into the morally stunted world of the American underclass'

* Independent *

'Keeps you hooked from the outset.. cleverly plotted and queasily gripping, Letts’s play offers a prophetic portrait of a society that, in its reliance on the small screen, is in danger of entertaining itself to death'

* 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 *
