 MEET MR. TWAIN: On the eve of Samuel L. Clemens’s birthday (he’d be 172) this Thursday, November 29, actor Alan Kitty portrays the author better known as Mark Twain in front of the fireplace on the second floor of the Princeton Public Library. Mr. Kitty presents his take on Twain’s views of 21st-century America in his program, “Mark Twain’s Land Stand,” at 7 p.m. |
Underneath the makeup and distinctive clothing, Alan Kitty doesn’t look much like Mark Twain. “We both have more or less square faces and there is a slight hook to both our noses, but his face and his nose are longer and although we are about the same height, I have a more muscular build,” said the actor who will portray the famed American humorist on Thursday, November 29, at 7 p.m. in front of the fireplace on the second floor of the Princeton Public Library.
