Blood Song: The Story of the Hatfields & The McCoys
Written by Chelsea Marcantel
Directed by Jason Justice
Twenty-five years of violence, two families, one story. Blood Song: The Story of the Hatfields & the McCoys is the official Kentucky state play on the feud and is widely regarded as the most historically accurate re-telling of the true events. Produced entirely and performed by a company of multigenerational Appalachian theatre artists, Blood Song is a gripping rumination on family, tribalism, community, and the cycle of violence.
