Photo Flash: Cinnabar Theater Presents Mark Twain's IS HE DEAD?

Cinnabar Theater presents Mark Twain's "Is He Dead?" Adapted by David Ives

Set in Paris in 1846, a talented, but struggling landscape painter, is convinced by his bohemian friends that faking his own death will inflate the value of his art. The artist disappears only to reappear as his imaginary twin sister.

Written in 1898, this Mark Twain comedy was rediscovered in 2002 by scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin, who discovered the manuscript at the University of California, Berkeley. "Is He Dead?" had its Broadway debut in 2007.

Directed by Elizabeth Craven & Barton Smith.
