For a limited time only, KENREX is playing at The Other Palace this Christmas!
Direct from an acclaimed run at Sheffield Theatres, where Jack Holden won BEST PERFORMANCE IN A PLAY and the show received 5-star reviews from The Daily Telegraph and WhatsOnStage — KENREX is the unbelievable true story of a community taking back control: part True Crime, part Western, with a foot-stomping live Americana soundtrack.
From the Olivier-nominated creators of Cruise comes a bold new theatrical event that grips like your favourite True Crime box set – raw, relentless, and impossible to look away!

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 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.
