Comments and Reviews


Magic Marmalade 14th Feb 2015		That's fantastic Trainman... thanks for posting the video. The cow catcher bit at the start is very funny. Always intended to actually read some Twain... think we read Huck Finn at school, but I'm not sure if that's an actual memory or I just imagined it. It's the kind of book that you just kind of know, but don't know how you know it... or even if you really do know it!



Trainman 13th Feb 2015		The first of a series of 10 videos, recreating almost an entire performance



Trainman 13th Feb 2015		Holbrook recreates a lecture as would have been given by Twain in his later years. He studied the one early Edison film that exists and what few sound recordings there were to re-create the Twain character as authentically as Twain would have looked and sounded. It is fascinating, and really kindled my interest in Twain when I first got it as an impressionable 12 year old. To this day I can quote whole passages.



Magic Marmalade 13th Feb 2015		This is one that, if I found it in a record bin I'd be transfixed by.... unusual and fascinating, they are Mark Twain articles read by Holbrook I take it?
