"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 Weekly"A 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.
