True Crime Comes to Life in the One-Man Show 'Kenrex'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | May 7

The one-man show 'Kenrex' tells the true story of Ken Rex McElroy, a man so hated in his small Missouri town that he was murdered by a vigilante mob... who refused to say who had done it. The show is performed entirely by Jack Holden, who plays over 30 characters over the course of the play. Holden recently won the Olivier Award for his performance. Holden joins to discuss the show, running now at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.
