THE REPORT OF MY DEATH will have a one-night special industry showcase at The Tank in preparation for our touring performances. Tickets are $15 at the door, and seating is general admission.
Michael Graves stars as the departed Samuel L. Clemens in One Armed Man’s production of The Report of My Death.
Mark Twain said that people cannot be completely honest until after they’re dead, and this play takes him at his word — with the deceased great writer saying anything he wants.
Featuring rare, previously censored and posthumously published Twain letters, stories, and historical artifacts, this one-man docudrama follows Clemens from his bankruptcy through his worldwide lecture tour, personal tragedies, unlikely recovery, and his fiery opposition to the Philippine-American War. This production introduces audiences the “other” Sam Clemens – American radical and dark prophet.
We will be performing in Keokuk, IA (where Twain lived) for the centennial of his death this year on April 22, and are contacting interested presenters with a plan to “follow the equator,” re-create his historic itinerary around the globe.
