Sheffield Theatres and Aria Entertainment today release production images for KENREX. The show is now playing at the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse, Sheffield until Saturday 16 November 2024.
Part True Crime, part Western, with a foot stomping live Americana soundtrack, KENREX is devised by Jack Holden, the Olivier-nominated creator of Cruise, and director Ed Stambollouian.
‘911, what’s your emergency?’
‘My husband… they shot him… they all did.’
July 10th 1981. Skidmore, Missouri. A man is shot dead in broad daylight. There are sixty witnesses — but no one saw a thing.
Jack Holden (Marriage, BBC; War Horse, National Theatre) performs the one-person show, jumping between characters in a high-octane blend of vocals, sound effects and song. They are accompanied on stage by composer and musician John Patrick Elliott (award-winning composer, recent album includes My Role in the Show), and directed by co-writer Ed Stambollouian (Animal Farm, Royal & Derngate; More More More Joe Lycett, UK Tour).
An album, KENREX (Music from the Play) by John Patrick Elliott via Carbon Moon Records is currently available to stream. The album brings together Elliott’s songs and instrumental compositions that feature in the play, as well as additional bonus tracks from the development of the piece.
