Jules: I've written a full-length two act comedy about Twain's life called Mark Twain Interruption. I don't know if this is the kind of thing you're looking for. It's full of interesting historical stuff, most of it true. Some scenes, or even sequences of scenes bearing on a theme, could be extracted and played by my actor friends, or we could do a reading, or whatever you want. Just a suggestion, if this would help your project. . . Best regards, Michel L.
