Huckleberry Finn
by Frank Whiting

Play script.

A skillful adaptation of Mark Twain's lovable story, held together through the intermissions by Huck's own narration.

Four sets.

19th century mid-west American costumes.

Cast of 6 women, 12 men.

Commencing his tale in Mark Twain's own words, Huck leads the audience through his maze of colorful adventures, sawing his way out of the cabin where he has been imprisoned, escaping down the river on a raft with a runaway slave, falling into the clutches of two itinerant rascals, and rescuing two orphan girls from their schemes, conspiring with Tom Sawyer to steal the runaway slave out of captivity.

Huck appears at each intermission to bridge the gaps in his story, carrying the first-person, Mark Twain flavour throughout.
