The Garden of Unearthly Delights Two Sharp Teeth ★★★½ - What it lacks in belly laughs, it makes up for by being bizarrely charming in the extreme.

The Garden of Unearthly Delights Ivan Aristeguieta - Matador ★★★★½ – veraciously entertaining, and his eyebrow raises are to die for.
Buckingham Arms Hotel Mark Twain Tonight ★★★ – This reviewer was left thoroughly charmed by an authentic portrayal of Twain; the accent, the pattern of speech, and the recitation of a wit and wisdom as relevant today as it was when Clements himself was alive.
