‘911, what’s your emergency?’…‘My husband… they shot him… they all did

Olivier Award nominee Jack Holden (Cruise)stars in KENREX – Now playing a strictly limited season at The Other Palace.

KENREX is a gritty, gripping one-man true-crime thriller — part Western, part noir — inspired by real events in Skidmore, Missouri, in 1981. A man is shot dead in broad daylight; sixty witnesses stand by… yet no one claims to have seen a thing. What follows is a tense, fast-paced deep dive into complicity, justice, and the stories towns choose to tell.

Featuring a haunting live Americana soundtrack by John Patrick Elliott, the show is co-written by Holden and Ed Stambollouian, with direction by Stambollouian.

Don’t miss this electrifying one-man thrill ride — secure your tickets now.

KENREX is playing at The Other Palace theatre in London from 3 December 2025 to 1 February 2026.
