Summary
Details

""Kentucky Mountain Fantasies: Three Short Plays for an Appalachian Theatre"" is a significant collection of regional American drama that explores the folk culture and oral traditions of the Kentucky highlands. Written by Percy MacKaye, these three short plays were crafted to capture the authentic spirit and linguistic richness of the Appalachian people.

The work serves as a foundational piece for an indigenous Appalachian theatre, focusing on the character, humor, and tragedies inherent in mountain life. MacKaye utilizes his expertise in community drama to elevate local anecdotes and customs into poetic dramatic forms. Through vivid dialogue and a deep respect for the mountain heritage, the collection preserves a specific era of rural American experience. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in the history of regional theater, American folklore, and the development of folk-based drama. By emphasizing the dignity and imaginative depth of the mountain folk, MacKaye offers a compelling look at a culture deeply rooted in tradition and storytelling.
