Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight! March 17, 2011

When 'Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight!' opened Off-Broadway at New York City's 41st Theatre in 1959, it took the theatre world by storm and became an immediate hit. What started as a college honors project for aspiring actor Hal Holbrook soon became the model for one-man theatrical performances. Adapting more than 12 years of the great literary humorist's material, Holbrook is a master of his trade and an expert at engaging audiences. Holbrook adds to his Twain material every year, editing and changing it to fit the times, and has mined over sixteen hours of Twain with more coming all the time.
