🎭 Is He Dead?
By Mark Twain, adapted by David Ives
Act 3 Galveston presents Mark Twain's hilarious comedy Is He Dead?, directed by Cailín Heffernan.
When struggling painter Jean-François Millet discovers that his artwork is worth far more if he's dead than alive, he hatches an outrageous plan: fake his own death. As his paintings skyrocket in value, Millet must maintain an increasingly complicated deception disguising himself as his own widowed sister. Filled with mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and Twain's signature wit, Is He Dead? is a laugh-out-loud comedy about art, fame, and the absurdity of the marketplace.
