The Kentucky Tragedy involved the 1825 murder of Colonel Solomon Sharp, one of Kentucky’s most prominent politicians, by Jereboam Beauchamp. Shortly after the murder, Joseph Hutton of New Bern wrote a dramatic play based on the Tragedy. Sharp’s brother claimed he had additional information for the play, and ultimately Hutton’s play was never produced.

Abstract:
Since 1937, Roanoke Island has been home to “The Lost Colony,” the late Paul Green’s outdoor drama about Sir Walter Raleigh’s abortive efforts to establish a permanent English colony in America. Green called the play a “symphonic drama” and wrote fifteen others, six of which are still produced annually. The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright died May 4 at age 87.
