description: McAvoy Layne opens his one-man show with Twain's remark, " . . . Letters from the Earth will never be published . . . in fact, it couldn't be, because it would be a felony." And, indeed, until 1962, most of these remarkable pieces were considered too controversial for publication. This is vintage Twain--a sharp, witty, imaginative, and sometimes wildly irreverent satire of his times.
