Direct from the archives of Val Kilmer's Studio is this impressive Original Mark Twain 12" x 12" Wooden Block Artwork personally created by film Legend, Val Kilmer in tribute to his role as Twain in his one man show, Citizen Twain. Created and performed by Kilmer, and seen recently in development by audiences at Disney Concert Hall, Tim Robbins' The Actors' Gang, and The United States Veterans Artists' Alliance Hall, the production, according to press notes, "delves into the heart and soul of Samuel Clemens and conjures forth the great spirit of Mark Twain, America's greatest storyteller.... Deeply entertaining, with great wit, song and prose, the play weaves Twain's biographical themes into a play that proclaims and takes joy in the marvel of words, which, as Twain says in the play, 'Form the ladder to my heaven.' Storytelling was a lifeline for Twain, and in Kilmer's Citizen Twain, this lifeline continues into and after Twain's death, making it an appropriate choice to perform the show in The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery."
Kilmer, who’s starred in such films as “Batman Forever,” “The Saint” and “Alexander,” is also an experienced stage trouper. Off-Broadway, he has appeared in The Slab Boys, Henry IV Part I and Tis Pity She’s a Whore, and in Los Angeles he played Moses in The Ten Commandments: The Spectacle Musical.Includes Celebrity Authentics Letter of Authenticity signed by Val Kilmer's management, verifying item's authenticity.
