Information for Kenrex at Sheffield Theatres, Sheffield (Play). 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. Kenrex is the unbelievable true story of a community taking back control - part Western, part True Crime, with a-foot stomping live Americana soundtrack. Tanya Moselwitsch Playhouse
