Hal Holbrook is an American treasure. He is one our most beloved actors. In a deeply moving conversation with American Conservatory Theater's Carey Perloff, Holbrook spoke of his challenging upbringing and his struggle to become a successful actor, travelling for years on the road. Holbrook, of course, is best known for his remarkable portrayals of Mark Twain, for which he won a Tony award and which he has performed for five decades. Twain has clearly been an artistic, political and personal wellspring throughout his life. In a rare treat, the audience enjoyed several extended recitations of Twain throughout the evening.
