	The Kentucky Cycle
		Robert Schenkkan's "The Kentucky Cycle" is one of the biggest, boldest and most important works the American theater has produced in recent years.
		In this deserving 1992 winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Schenkkan charts the history of one section of rural Kentucky from 1775 to 1975.
		His writing here is leaner, tauter and more gripping than in the first half, exploring conflicts that have shaped this century and carrying his story into the realm of recent memory.

		Schenkkan had just unexpectedly fallen in love motivating an idea for a love story between two mature adults from widely different backgrounds.
		Schenkkan took this vague schematic to Lue Morgan Douthit, OSF's Director of Literary Development and Dramaturgy, and a received a commission to write the play.
		Their characters are totally believable, totally engrossing and as fantastical as Schenkkan's ending is, it works well in the context of what we've learned about the characters as the action unfolds.

		Schenkkan got his motivation for the show on a trip through Kentucky, where he was shocked by the juxtaposed existence of the nouveau riche alongside people who were living a marginal existence at best.
		When Schenkkan began the long process to get the play to Broadway, he ran into many obstacles that may have appeared to be insurmountable.
		Schenkkan said that one reason for the poor reviews is that the play has a mass appeal but no distinct audience, unlike most shows that appear on Broadway that target a specific group of people.

	'Handler' is the sleeper at Shakespeare festival / Religious fervor electrifies play's family turmoil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Robert Schenkkan's new play, "Handler," the death is real, in the past and only one of the apocalyptic shocks to a marriage enduring an even rockier ride than that of Albee's George and Martha.
		Most impressive about this ultimately disappointing West Coast premiere by the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Kentucky Cycle" are the depth and evenhandedness of Schenkkan's treatment of the Pentecostal Christians who "handle" rattlesnakes to test their faith.
		Schenkkan's script is rich in possibilities as he depicts a Pentecostal service and counterposes bracing looks at the beliefs and doubts of the congregants with the problems of a financially struggling couple trying to rebuild their marriage after the death of their child.

	The Kentucky Cycle Summary & Essays - Robert Schenkkan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When he first conceived the idea of The Kentucky Cycle, Robert Schenkkan never believed that it would grow into a history making, award winning, epic drama of Americana.
		The play grew as Schenkkan researched more about the region and his desire to say something about how modern America thinks of and rethinks its past and what that history means.
		Schenkkan captures the essence of America’s past and its fears and translates them into a work that many critics see as the best theater in the last two decades of American drama.

		This complicated, ambitious work is woven through 200 years of family and neighbor relations polluted by six generations of what playwright Robert Schenkkan has called "spiritual poverty".
		Schenkkan's retelling of Harry Caudill's compelling account of the same incident in Night Comes to the Cumberlands will help a wider audience understand what some Appalachian scholars have been suggesting for years— that in the mountains the Civil War was about much more than slavery.
		Schenkkan has also made use of the rich heritage of mountain storytelling traditions.

	Hollow story ruins 'Dream Thief' charms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As I left the world premiere of Robert Schenkkan's "The Dream Thief," I found myself humming new words to an old melody.
		"The Dream Thief" is Schenkkan's first work for children, and it shows the vivid imagination and careful use of language that he lavished on his Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, "The Kentucky Cycle." Despite a flawed production by First Stage Milwaukee, it's clear that Schenkkan is quite talented.
		The problem is that Schenkkan duplicates the conventions of fairy tales without following the strange internal logic that gave rise to those conventions.

	Movie-Vault.com: Print Review
		Director Philip Noyce and screenwriters Christopher Hampton and Robert Schenkkan have done a marvelous job in adapting Greene’s novel.
		The ideas that the author is addressing are clearly accentuated, chief of which is that he was against the United States’ participation in the Vietnam War.
		Neither he, nor we, would see the full folly of his words and beliefs, because the story ends in the beginning of what would become a war gone wrong.

	'Lewis and Clark' gets a little lost \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		By the time we reach Iraq and the hapless adventurers are tricked by a debonair Ahmed Chalabi into carrying his bogus WMD claims to the White House, even the most out-there lefty will probably have had enough of this trying-to-be-deft preaching to the choir.
		Schenkkan's play, for all its good intentions, its humor and its seamless time shifts, still clings perilously close to the middle of the dramaturgical road.
		Although his concept still tantalizes, little of Schenkkan's writing is as sharp as that.

	The Austin Chronicle: Arts: Arts Review
		That handy phrase may well be the key to Robert Schenkkan's entertaining new comedy, The Marriage of Miss Hollywood and King Neptune.
		That's what Schenkkan is channeling here, the Hollywood hijinks of Bringing Up Baby and His Girl Friday, with their odd-couple romances, adorable madcaps and quipping cynics, and send-ups of American dreams.
		The UT Department of Theatre and Dance is the first artistic entity anywhere to take a crack at Schenkkan's new/old comedy and has lavished on it a sumptuous look that recalls the Tinseltown spectacle of bygone days in all its glitzy, showy style.

	Bucket Reviews
		Stunning performances by Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, a brilliantly adapted screenplay written by Christopher Hampton and Robert Schenkkan, and admirably effective work behind the camera from Phillip Noyce make this work a memorable figure.
		It’s actually quite amazing that Noyce, Hampton, and Schenkkan were able to do just this; it’s definitely admirable.
		The adaptation cleverly entwines dialogue and emotions, representing two completely different feeling, but escalates onto a psychological level, where viewers will be able to sense both feelings at the same time.

		Robert Schenkkan's ten-play cycle traces the intertwining stories of three families over two centuries and seven generations, from the time of the American Revolution to the war on poverty.
		As Schenkkan excavates the history of one corner of Kentucky in his Pulitzer Prize-winning epic, he challenges some of our most cherished myths.

	CityBeat: Inter-CityBeat: Phoenix Theatre (2003-07-30)
		That is thanks, first, to the focus guest director Tim Grimm imposed on playwright Robert Schenkkan's sprawling, multi-scene story of snake-handling, Christian worship in Appalachia; and second, to fully-engaged, fully-fleshed, fully-angsted performances from three estimable lead performers: Jen Bohler, Robert K. Johansen and Robert Neal.
		There is some lack of cohesion in the latter stretches of Schenkkan's yarn of lost faith and redeemed love, some slight sense of material added for time-padding, some wandering around in theatrical styles from hard-edge, absolutist realism to dramatic incantation, but the production's focus never falters and the intensity never wanes.
		Nor is there any faltering in the clarity of Schenkkan's concentrated dialogue and character delineation.
