Mark Twain's Patent Scrapbook is a one-man show that takes its audience on a funny, heart-warming and informative tour of the life and works of Samuel Langhorn Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, one of the most successful humourists of all time. The show takes its name from one of Twain's most successful inventions, a patented "self-sticking" scrapbook, which published and sold over 100,000 copies. The pastings in this scrapbook include ramblings about Twain's life on the Mississippi in the 1830s, readings from several of his books, through to his late life musings on death, heaven and hell. Gleaned from Twain's many writings, the show captures the inimitable humour with which Twain approached life.
