These are stage adaptations of classic works by Mark Twain that can be performed together as a full-length anthology or individually or in any combination. The plays run 10-12 minutes and are based on these originals: "The McWilliamses and the Burglar Alarm," "Buck Fanshaw's Funeral," "Cannibalism in the Cars," "The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut," "Extracts from Adam's Diary," "Meisterschaft," and "What Is Man?" The plays, all comedies, show a range of Twain's work from his boisterous Nevada days through his Hartford domestic period to the more explicit gloom of the later years. Most are close adaptations, while a few are more free, with changes of gender or time period from the originals. All adhere to the story line, character development, and theme of the originals. The cast sizes range from 2 to 8. A programming option instead of all of these short plays is a selection from them as Act I, and, as Act II, my 50- to 60-minute adaptation of "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" (see the entry under that title for more information); this was the program for the Nov. 30, 2016, staged reading at the Mark Twain House and Museum in Hartford.
