From the annuals of the Star Trek holodeck comes the curious nostalgia of one of America's best known and most accessible writers. Actor Jerry Hardin has turned his guest appearance on one of the world's best-known fables into the basis for this one-man show - and Captain Picard's loss is our most certain gain.
With the grace and poise of Twain's remarkable gift for "a good story well told", Hardin weaves a delicate web of satire, charm and intrigue. He gives us tales of innocent guns and harmless cheese, and reads from the diaries of Adam and Eve's in the Garden of Eden, all the while postulating the theory of anti-Darwinism and the descent of man. Throughout, it is the skill of these two masters, writer and actor, that keep us hanging on for every perfectly-judged word. As Twain himself once quipped: the reports of his death are very much exaggerated.
