Editorial Reviews

He was one of the most admired men in America--and then, one of the most hated. Thomas Paine was a key figure in American history. His "Common Sense" pamphlet, published January 10, 1776, called upon the colonies to break with Great Britian and articulated the vision of the American Revolution. Salt Lake radio personality Hans Peterson's "Tom Paine" is an intimate dramatic performance, bringing to life this celebrated figure from America's past. His one-man show traces Paine's life from his childhood in England to his revolutionary years in America, and from his near-execution in France to his lonely final days in New York.
