Hal Holbrook Mark Twain Tonight.


Hal Holbrook is 86 years old, a full sixteen years older than the 70-year-old Mark Twain he is portraying in this show. Using Mark Twain’s writings, Holbrook talked about this and that, and there was a lot of “the more things change, the more they stay the same” as Mark Twain had a lot to say about incompetent congress, incredibly wealthy fat cats and distrustful media.

  1. When we went to Twain's house in Connecticut (we were there for a Shafer cousin wedding) it was so fun to see all of his witticisms and feistiness in the samples of his writing that were there. He had an awful lot to say about my dear girl, Jane. Of course it was not-so-nice, so I will have to agree to disagree with him!
