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."
