It’s completely freaky how much Val Kilmer looks like Mark Twain under makeup for his new play, Citizen Twain. This play, which is written, directed, and stars Val Kilmer, is just preliminary work for Kilmer’s upcoming role in Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy. Twain himself became a rival with Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, writing essays against her and her work. Remember when people wrote essays against things instead of retweeting? Good times. I’m shockingly looking forward to this, because it just sounds cool. Twain’s stories are awesome, his essays are awesome, and it will be hard pressed to make Mark Twain and Mary Baker Eddy not awesome.
