Jack’s Tale by Scot Copeland and Paul Carrol Binkley is a spirited theatrical journey inspired by the old Irish “Jack legends”. Blending myth and history, the play follows a cunning, larger-than-life hero through rugged mountains, Appalachian folklore, and sweeping adventure. It celebrates the resilient people who braved the wilds of Scotland and Ireland, wrestled farmland from the hills of Appalachia, and ultimately helped form the backbone of the American Revolution. Both intimate and epic, Jack’s Tale is a tribute to courage, heritage, and the enduring power of story.
