Is He Dead? by Mark Twain
A Comedy in Five Acts
A struggling 19th-century painter, frustrated by poverty and the indifference of the art market, fakes his own death to raise the value of his work and goes into hiding—adopting a female persona to continue living among acquaintances—setting off a chain of comic misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, legal absurdities, and a satirical exploration of fame, greed, and the commercial pressures on art.
