FIVE STAR AUDIENCE REVIEWS for this hilarious, thoughtful and poignant piece of theatre which premiered at The Gaiety Theatre last year.

Mark Twain In Person

The play, Mark Twain In Person, is conceived by Ken O’Hara, showing Twain during one of his lecturing tours of the USA in 1900. Using Twain’s own material, Ken has crafted an evening of storytelling and wit. Ken transforms himself into the character of Twain with great aplomb, donning the famous white suit, with cigar and whisky in hand, and has a remarkable resemblance to the man.

Get ready to be entertained by Twain’s boyhood memories, his experience of the American Civil War, and many other stories from his life, including a strange-looking dog, his observations on humanity and his time as a River Boat pilot on the Mississippi. The play contains Twain’s one-liners and witticisms with which he has become celebrated. Please be aware there is use of a racial epithet in the context of Twain’s writing.
