We're thrilled to see KENREX receive six nominations at this year's Olivier Awards!

The part True Crime, part Western play, which sold out performances when it first opened in the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse, tells the unbelievable true story of a community taking back control when small-town bully Ken Rex McElroy takes his reign of terror one step too far.

The production is nominated for:

Best New Play, supported by The Londoner, Best Actor (Jack Holden), Sir Peter Hall Award for Best Director (Ed Stambollouian), Outstanding Musical Contribution (John Patrick Elliott (Composition)), Best Sound Design, supported by d&b audiotechnik (Giles Thomas) and Best Lighting Design (Joshua Pharo).

Following it's opening at Sheffield Theatres,KENREX transferred to Southwark Playhouse Borough in February 2025, and more recently to The Other Palace for Christmas 2025-26 and then onto Broadway where it will run from April 2026 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York.

The Olivier Award winners will be revealed at a ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 12th April, marking the 50th anniversary of the awards. The event will also be available to watch on the BBC.
