Academy Award nominee Hal Holbrook’s MARK TWAIN TONIGHT! will return to Denver’s Buell Theatre for one night only, Saturday, March 1 at 7pm. Nominated for an Academy Award earlier today for his performance in Into the Wild, Holbrook is one of the preeminent stage, television and film actors working today, with his one-man show MARK TWAIN TONIGHT! regarded as one of the most acclaimed and enduring performances in the history of theatre. Tickets for the one night only engagement go on sale on Sunday, February 3rd at 10am.As Denver audiences know well, no one can embody Mark Twain like Hal Holbrook. A man in his late 20s when he first performed Twain at a tiny off-Broadway theatre in 1959, Holbrook – now nearly 83 – knows Mark Twain as well as he knows himself, bringing a richness to the character far beyond the quoting of Twain’s most memorable quips. Each year, Holbrook edits and changes his piece to resonate with the current state of the world and chooses the evening’s program from a collected twelve hours of material.
