Killer Joe focuses on the Smith family, a greedy and vindictive clan of Texans, hatch a plan to murder their estranged matriarch to cash in on her insurance policy. Unable to bring themselves to do the deed, they hire Killer Joe Cooper, a full-time cop and part-time contract killer. Once he steps into their trailer, their simple plan quickly spirals out of control.
We have been in the middle of a distribution campaign for Killer Joe, and have also been printing the promotional materials themselves. This production, brought to life by Profiles Theatre, was written by playwright Tracy Letts and is directed by Steppenwolf ensemble member Rick Snyder.
Killer Joe is at The Royal George Theatre through June 6th. Please visit www.profilestheatre.org for more information.
