KILLER JOE // APRIL 3-24, 2016
“The Coal Mine Theatre solidifies itself as a key player in the Toronto theatre scene with (this) gritty production...”— Broadway World
THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:
KILLER JOE
Written by Tracy Letts
A twisted trailer park tragedy, drug debts have left Chris Smith in desperate need of a lot of money -- fast. Chris enlists his father, his sister and his shifty stepmother in the procurement of a hitman so he can ‘off' his alcoholic mother and collect the insurance money.
A deep-fried Southern gothic tale, KILLER JOE is crafted to exploit the sensory immediacy a stage production allows. Up-close-and-personal, “One watches the Smiths prey on one another with the same horrid fascination one might have watching a snake devour a rat.” – The New York Times
