Photos of Tom Paine
from Playboy Magazine
November 1968

Caption reads: "Another O'Horgan hit, Tom Paine portrays its gero not only as a revolutionary pamphleteer but also as a wretched alcoholic finally destroyed by the Americans he helped free.  The most memorable scene shows Paine (Rob Thirlield), drunk in a tavern, hallucinating a group of diaphinously draped tormentors who swirl about him in what O'Horgan calls "a Blake-like vision of innocence."  Surrounding Paine, clockwise from bottom, are Monica Haufrecht, Mitchell McGuire, Adriana Hines, Spalding Gray, Lucy Silvay and Barbara Press.  "I think of my work," says O'Horgan, "as kinetic sculpture.  The stage needs to be expanded - rigid conceptions broken, a little blood allowed to flow through."  That makes Common Sense."
