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 complete cycle of short plays had its world premiere in 1991 at the Intiman Theatre in Seattle, Washington. It was awarded the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
