Samuel Clemens: Tales of Mark Twain

This new and contemporary one-man show written and performed by writer/performer Joe Baer tells the story of Samuel Clemens’s life, a tale that takes the audience on a journey that reflects how life and narrative become one. It is told in the context of the nearly eight decades in which Clemens lived. The performance is peppered throughout with passages and numerous snappers culled from Mark Twain’s many humorous works in front of a backdrop of historical visual projections. Act 2 includes condensed passages from Clemens’s masterwork, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
