Description
The fascinating life of storyteller and humorist Mark Twain is revealed in this one-man performance based on Twain's writings. Veteran actor McAvoy Layne reveals the sparkling Twain personality throughout. The early years of Samuel Clemens (not yet "Mark Twain"), the Mississippi River experiences, and his move to the silver mining area of Nevada are portrayed in the first-half. The second-half weaves some of the most famous tales, from "The Blue Jay Yarn" to "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," into the history of this most colorful author. Amusing stories from Letters from the Sandwich Islands and questions from the live audience conclude the performance.
