A "New Comedy" by Mark Twain at the Adobe Theater

Wed. 9/11 10a:  Written in 1898, Mark Twain's play "Is He Dead?" was never produced in the author's lifetime.  It was rediscovered in 2003, and adapted by playwright David Ives for a production in New York.  The comedy makes its New Mexico debut at Albuquerque's Adobe Theater, from September 13 through October 6.  Spencer Beckwith is joined by the director of "Is He Dead?," Brian Hansen.

Spencer Beckwith reports on the arts for KUNM. For ten years, until March of 2014, Spencer was the producer and host of KUNM's "Performance New Mexico," a weekday morning arts program that included interviews with musicians, writers and performers. Spencer is a graduate of the acting program at the Juilliard School, and, before moving to New Mexico in 2002, was for many years a professional actor based in New York City.
