The Lowdown

Jack Holden plays 35 people in an 85-minute sprint through 1980s Missouri, which is a lot of cardio for one person. The show centers on the town of Skidmore, where a local bully finally pushed the neighbors too far and met a permanent end. It is a sharp, grim look at what happens when a community decides the law is optional. Holden’s transitions between characters are fast enough to cause whiplash, but the narrative holds. It avoids the usual true-crime fluff, focusing instead on the cold math of collective guilt. If you can handle a sweaty, claustrophobic hour in a basement theater, go. It is a solid, dark way to spend an evening.
