Hal Holbrook Mark Twain Tonight! October 2, 2010

This show continues to enthrall audiences, with Holbrook performing 20-25 shows a year. By Holbrook's estimation, he has now performed the show well over 2,000 times. Just as Mark Twain brought his wit and humor to far-flung places a half-century before, Holbrook-as-Twain has also performed around the world, from Saudi Arabia and Warsaw, to Edinburgh and New Delhi. Holbrook is not simply an impersonator of Mark Twain, he is an authority on the writer about whom Hemingway said, "American literature began." Hal Holbrook’s one-man tour-de-force, MARK TWAIN TONIGHT! perfectly merges man and material. Given the author’s rich vein of humor, Holbrook uses Twain’s own words to comment with wry wit on the contemporary American scene.
