Playwright David Ives adapted a newly-discovered Mark Twain comedy for "Is He Dead?" The play is about a struggling artist who stages his own death to drive up the price of his paintings. It’s at the Lyceum Theatre, at 149 W. 45th St. between 6th and 7th Aves.

I am also interested in hearing about Mr. Ives's new play about Spinoza "New Jerusalem." I saw it last week and was so impressed that I am taking a group of students to see it tonight.
