Is He Dead? is a newly discovered and until recently unproduced Mark Twain comedy written expressly for the stage. Mark Twain, the original master of American humor, dishes out a sly critique of the art world with acerbic wit and social commentary well ahead of his time. Jean-François Millet, a young painter of genius, is in love with Marie Leroux but in debt to a villainous picture-dealer, Bastien André. Andre forecloses on Millet, threatening debtor’s prison unless Marie marries him. Millet realizes the only way he can pay his debts and keep Marie from marrying André is to die, as it is only dead painters who achieve fame and fortune. Millet fakes his own death and prospers, all while passing himself off as his own sister, the Widow Tillou. As the riotous scheme unfolds, Twain poses daring questions about fame, greed and the value of art, and pokes his signature, mischievous fun at everyone involved.
