I don't usually enjoy sitting through bleak plays. I prefer to be uplifted by the end. Woolfe Street Playhouse's production of BLOOD AND GIFTS by JT Rogers is not uplifting, but somehow kept me glued in my seat and somberly invested for its duration. A violently charged drama, the story takes place during the conflict over Afghanistan in the 1980's, involving the US, Great Britain, Soviet Russia, Pakistan and Iran. Seeing a story of such political relevance acted out live, offered a truly chilling experience, like seeing events on the news happening in real time.

How did Kentucky go from a state which refused to secede and sent between 60,000 and 75,000 more men into the Union army than the Confederate one to one whose enduring images are Southern—from the bow-tied colonel to white-columned mansions and mint juleps?
