The Kentucky Cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kentucky Cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Kentucky Cycle is a series of nine one-act plays by Robert Schenkkan that explores American mythology, particularly the mythology of the West, through the intertwined histories of three fictional families struggling over a portion of land in the Cumberland plateau. The Kentucky Cycle was the result of several years of development, starting in NYC at New Dramatists and the Ensemble Studio Theatre. The two part, six hour epic was later workshopped at the Mark Taper Forum, EST-LA, the Long Wharf Theatre, and the Sundance Institute. The complete cycle of short plays had its world premiere in 1991 at the Intiman Theatre in Seattle (Liz Huddle, producer). In 1992, it appeared as part of the Mark Taper Forum's 25th Anniversary Season.[1]
It was awarded the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the first time in the history of the award that a play was so honored which had not first been presented in New York City. (This feat would be repeated in 2003 with Nilo Cruz's Anna in the Tropics.) The Kentucky Cycle also won both the PEN Centre West and the LA Drama Critics Circle Awards for Best Play. In 1993 it appeared at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and opened on Broadway in November of that same year where it was nominated for a Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards.+ The play was produced on Broadwa"
