“Sure, there’s a story in Killers, involving – an ominous-sounding chord here, please – murder. But that's really beside the point. John Olive’s play is purely a vessel for style, an opportunity for director Bart DeLorenzo and his ace ensemble to fondle – with palpable affection – the pulp artistry of Charles Bukowski and Jim Thompson’s writing, and John Coltrane’s music. The design work is ultra-sharp, and the performances drippingly juicy. The production draws you into the pulp world instantly.” –Steven Oxman, Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles premiere at Evidence Room, July 2005
