Mark Twain in Bermuda November 8-11
This November Mark Twain returns, yet again, to his favorite vacation spot to help celebrate Bermuda's 400th year anniversary.
Richard Garey will be performing his show 'Mark Twain Himself' in the Bermuda City Hall Theater during the dates listed above. However he will be in Bermuda for a couple weeks doing other various shows for schools and fundraisers. While in Bermuda he will be performing new material that hasn't been heard since Twain originally performed it back in the late 1800's.
