Citizen Twain: Actor Val Kilmer To Play Mark Twain In One-Man Play

 

Sarah Ann Hughes at the Washington Post reports that Val Kilmer, seen in the above photo, is portraying one of my favorite writers, Mark Twain, in a one-man show.

Have you recently thought to yourself, “I wonder what Val Kilmer is up to”? Why, he’s currently playing Mark Twain in a one-man show he created about the American author and humorist, of course.

The “Batman Forever” actor will perform “Citizen Twain” — a show that “delves into the heart and soul of Samuel Clemens and conjures forth the great spirit of Mark Twain” — in a two-weekend run at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this March, Playbill reports.

Apparently, Kilmer has been impersonating Twain for some time now.

Note: I love Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holiday in Tombstone.

Hal Holbrook On Mark Twain: No Updating Necessary

Kara Patterson at The Post-Crescent in Wisconsin offers a Q & A with actor Hal Holbrook, who is performing his one-man Mark Twain Tonight show.

I saw Holbrook's Mark Twain show in Philadelphia a few years back and I truly enjoyed it. Mark Twain is one of my favorite writers and Holbrook made the great writer and humorist come alive.
