Killer Joe is by Tracy Letts. Takes place in West Dallas, Texas. 22-year-old
drug dealer Chris Smith is desperate to pay his debt to loan sharks and
decides to murder his mother Adele to collect the $50,000 of insurance
money. He has been told by his mother's boyfriend Rex that the sole
beneficiary will be Chris' younger sister Dottie. Assuming Dottie would
share any money she gets with them, Chris manages to rope his dim-witted
father Ansel into a conspiracy to kill Adele, who is Ansel's ex-wife, to get
the money. Chris also enlists the help of Joe Cooper, a police detective who
has a side career as a contract killer. Killer Joe is slick, darkly humorous
and sometimes shocking.
