A Study Guide to
'The Kentucky Cycle'
Introduction
The Kentucky Cycle
is a series of nine plays that spans over 200 years of American history in a
small portion of eastern Kentucky. Although the features are local, the
issues raised in the play are universally American and draw on the very best
and the very worst in America’s history. The plays explore violence as a
part of American life—whether that violence is racial, gender-based, or
environmental— and how each generation deals with and works through the
American tendency to use force first and ask questions later.
