Review: IS HE DEAD at Olathe Civic Theatre Association
by Alan Portner - May 13, 2023
Anything with the name Mark Twain on it draws a crowd. “Twainiacs” like me will always show up. This particular piece of Clemens’ literary output languished inside a file cabinet at the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley for a century.
It is difficult to know what to say about IS HE DEAD. It is a bold choice by Director Charlotte Gilman and the OCTA Board. Gilman has chosen to direct IS HE DEAD in the imagined style of the time. It is easy to imagine in a touring Chautauqua tent show in rural Kansas or Missouri at the end of the nineteenth century.
