It is courageous in stepping out of easy playwriting territory. It is challenging in the story, which challenges you to keep up as it careens from one place to another, finally ending up in a different place than you expected. It is unpleasant, in the way that Letts plays are often unpleasant, peopled with characters that are all too real, and drawn not from Pleasant Valley, but from the gritty dregs of society. In this story of a family hiring a hit man to kill the matriarch for her insurance, there are betrayals upon betrayals, until you have no idea who to trust...if anyone. Lost half a star for the all too obvious, cop out, and somewhat sexist ending. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Now a major motion picture by the Academy Award-winning director of The Exorcist"--
""One of our most valuable playwrights."-Time Out New York"A hideously funny tabloid noir. Letts' balance of irony and empathy continues to impress."-LA WeeklyA definitively dysfunctional family gives in to its basest instincts and is forced to face hidden truths in this twisted modern-day fairy tale by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of August: Osage County. Performed in fifteen countries and twelve languages since its 1998 stage debut, Killer Joe is "a terrifically tasty potboiler. It has the enjoyable hairpin turns of the standard mystery thriller, but it's the skewed shifting relationships that keep you hooked" (The New York Times). Now a critically acclaimed film adapted by the playwright and starring Matthew McConaughey.Tracy Letts is the author of the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play August: Osage County (soon to be a feature film starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts). His other plays include Bug, Superior Donuts, and Man from Nebraska, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He is an ensemble member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago as playwright and actor.
