Is He Dead? is a play by Mark Twain based on his earlier 1893 short story. The play, written by Twain in 1898, was first published in print in 2003 after Mark Twain scholar Shelley Fisher Fishkin read the manuscript in the archives of the Mark Twain Papers at the University of California at Berkeley. The play was long known to scholars but never attracted much attention until Fishkin arranged to have it published in book form. She later played a primary role in getting the play produced on Broadway. Contemporary American playwright David Ives adapted the play for the modern stage before its inaugural performance in 2007. Is He Dead? is now published and licensed for theatrical use by Playscripts, Inc.

  • Is He Dead? (Is hij dood?) is een toneelstuk van Mark Twain. Het werd voor het eerst gepubliceerd in 2003, nadat de Twain-onderzoekster Shelley Fisher Fishkin het manuscript gelezen had in het archief van de Mark Twain Papers aan de Universiteit van Californië - Berkeley. Het stuk was reeds lang bekend bij wetenschappers, maar er werd nooit veel aandacht aan geschonken totdat Fishkin zorgde voor publicatie in boekvorm. Later speelde zij ook een belangrijke rol in het realiseren van de productie van het toneelstuk op Broadway. Playscripts, Inc. verwierf de licentie voor theaterproductie. (nl)
