Actor Hal Holbrook breathes life into the legendary author in one of the most successful one-man shows in American Theatre history. Mark Twain Tonight! originated from a characterization that was part of Holbrook’s college honors project. His first solo performance as Twain began in 1954 at a nightclub in Greenwich Village where he gained national television exposure after Ed Sullivan saw him perform. Soon after, Holbrook had an off-Broadway run followed by an engagement at the Great White Way, earning him a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play in 1966.
Nearly 50 years later, Mark Twain Tonight! continues to enthrall audiences around the nation. Holbrook merges man and material, using Twain’s own words and wry wit, to comment on contemporary American culture. During the course of his one-man show, Holbrook reads excerpts from some of Twain’s most famous works, and offers the author’s point of view on subjects ranging from prejudice, politics, religion, and human history. As Holbrook states, “What [Twain] had to say over a hundred years ago is more powerful today.â€
