ALEX FOX: AMERICAN HERO
play | cast of 6
Capital Flicks is a film production studio that executes real death row inmates by killing them in action-packed blockbuster movies. Just like the gladiator games of the past, Capital Flicks has brought back that horrible idea and glamorized it for the 21st century. When the play begins, we meet Kelly – a caterer from small town West Virginia. She’s been hired to run craft services on Capital Flicks’ newest movie. What starts out as a farce soon turns into a thriller when the invisible curtain gets pulled back and Kelly finds herself as a character in the movie. Faced with a barrage of revelations, Kelly fights for her life in Capital Flicks’ newest and most mind-bending movie yet.
Alex Fox: American Hero is a play about our desire for revenge, our collective grief, and our hesitation to forgive.
