...acted with such accuracy, perverse verve and bodily bravery that it feels acutely real. Stephen Dunne, The Sydney Morning Herald
...it's mesmerisingly good, funny to the point of making you gasp in horror at yourself, and although I'm slightly nervous of saying so, I loved every awful, hilarious fascinating (and tragic) minute of it. Diana Simmonds, Stage Noise

I heard y’all talkin’ about killin’ Momma. I think it’s a good idea.
It’s like nothing seen on Sydney stages this year. To the live gutter blues sounds of The Snowdroppers, we’ll visit a dusty trailer park on the outskirts of Dallas, Texas.
Here we’ll find Chris. He tried to make a buck breeding rabbits, but currently… he sells cocaine. His mom found the drugs, sold them to get the Ford fixed and now he owes a lot of money. In an attempt get his filthy mitts on some fast cash, Chris presents his dad and sister Dottie with a scheme that involves: 1) their Momma and 2) her life insurance.
Enter Joe: sheriff, misogynist, hit man; a cowboy who ain’t got no cows.
From Pulitzer Prize / 2008 Tony Award-winning playwright Tracy Letts and director Iain Sinclair (The Seed, Best Independent Production 2007 Sydney Theatre Awards), Killer Joe is a cruel, chastening and viciously funny examination of the American politics of violence with terrifyingly beautiful drama at its heart.
...a portrait of a purely American world that is so numbed out that carnage fits comfortably into the everyday domestic landscape.
