This tour-de-force one-man show breathes new life into the
back-story of the Kennedy family. RFK creates a very human portrait of a
politician and revisits some of the darker moments in U.S. History. Author Jack
Holmes expands the well-known facts of a politician's life into a stirring
metaphor for the struggle to believe in our government and our leaders.

By late summer, 1964, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was a deeply wounded man. Still in shock and consumed with grief and guilt over the assassination of his older brother, President John F. Kennedy, on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, he was at a crossroads. The 1964 presidential election was approaching and President Lyndon Johnson, who had been dangling the possibility of a vice-presidential role to RFK, finally called Kennedy over to the White House to tell him his decision. The result of that meeting and the subsequent direction for the next, and last, four years of Robert Kennedy's life are the focus of this play.
Jack Holmes is an actor, playwright, screenwriter, composer and pianist. He is the author of the solo play "RFK" in which he portrayed the late Robert F. Kennedy. His New York Off-Broadway performance earned him a nomination by The Outer Critics Circle for Outstanding Solo Performance, as well as a nomination by the Drama League for Distinguished Performance. He was also nominated for Best Solo Performance In a Large Theater by the Independent Reviewers of New England for his performance in Boston.
