About KENREX
July 10th, 1981, Missouri. Smalltown bully, Ken Rex McElroy rules Skidmore with an iron fist. His ten year reign of terror has involved theft, intimidation, assault, abduction and attempted murder — but, thanks to his slippery defence attorney and the rusty cogs of the American justice system, Ken Rex has never spent a night behind bars. But, when Ken shoots pillar of the community, greengrocer Bo Bowenkamp and leaves him for dead, the good folk of Skidmore decide that enough is enough. If the courts won’t bring Ken to heel, they will.
From the creator of the Olivier-nominated ‘Cruise’, KENREX transfers to the Southwark Playhouse Borough after a sold-out run at Sheffield Theatres. Written and performed by Jack Holden and co-directed with Ed Stambollouian, with live music from John Patrick Elliott.
KENREX is the unbelievable true story of a community taking back control — part Western, part True Crime, with a-foot stomping live Americana soundtrack.
Please note the venue strongly advises that you arrive early and take your seats in advance of the start time as there is a no latecomers and no re-entry policy.
