Hal Holbrook has been performing his one-man show as Mark Twain since 1954 and has won Emmy and Tony Awards for his performance. This production enjoyed three separate runs on Broadway in 1966, 1977, and 2005.
The humor, which is more than a century old, is still laugh-out-loud funny today. Holbrook's monologue is rambling, intelligent, and comedic as he culls together commentary from a variety of Twain sources and crafts a unique performance.
Holbrook is a celebrated actor who has starred in such films as Water for Elephants, All the President’s Men, Wall Street and The Firm. He has won five prime-time Emmy Awards for his work in television and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2008 for his role in Into the Wild.
