Description
This digitized reel-to-reel tape is a part of a set of tapes recorded during production meetings , rehearsals , and critiques of the play "The Man Who Lost the River. " It was written by Bernard Sabbath , produced by Southern Illinois University Carbondale professor Herbert P . J . Marshall , and starred Oliver Cliff in the role of Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) . The world premiere of the play was performed at SIUC from February 7-11 , 1968 as a part of the Illinois sesquicentennial . However , an article in the January 13 , 1968 issue of The Daily Egyptian disputes the "world premiere " claim , reporting that it was performed at Culver-Stockton College in Canton , Missouri 2 years earlier . This recording (reel 2 , side 1) includes a segment of the first rehearsal with the complete cast on January 13 .
