Father Kennedy is a comedy that follows a small town priest on an epic quest to sabotage his sister’s engagement. When Father Kennedy discovers his sister Rose plans to wed the church gravedigger Ramsey, the priest sets out to destroy their relationship by framing her fiancé for infidelity. Along his journey, Father Kennedy confronts a former flame, enlists the help of a lascivious lingerie saleswoman, and plays Battleship in a confessional with a fellow priest. At the conclusion of the play, Father Kennedy is left profoundly changed by his experience, as he discovers more about himself, and those around him, than he could ever have imaged.
Beyond the black comedy and debauchery, Father Kennedy is an irreverent play about a collection of misfits attempting to find a place where they belong. With this play, Kraker sets out to ask audiences, “What does it mean to call a place home?” Each character is an outcast in their community and as a result of Father Kennedy’s journey, gains a greater appreciation for their place in the world. Father Kennedy is an intimate tale about people accidentally helping and giving hope to one another in the strangest of circumstances.
