“Theatre Exile's terrific production of Letts' play at the Adrienne assembles a knockout cast of courageous actors who beat one another and the script to smithereens”

“…thanks to an excellent cast and some smart direction, Theatre Exile's production of Killer Joe succeeds in ways even the highly acclaimed Off-Broadway version didn't.”

“…screamingly, if disturbingly, funny, made more so by the uniformly superb performances director Joe Canuso elicits from his first-rate cast.”

“…an exuberantly bloody slice of lowlife.”

“Canuso's direction gets the blend of comedy and tragedy just right”

“Killer Joe puts the bang back in American theater.”
