TRAILER | TPAN | Mark Twain's To Begin the World Over Again
12/23/2025 | 59s
The acclaimed one-man play about the life of the provocative writer Thomas Paine is performed.
Thomas Paine was one of the world's most provocative writers and worst politicians, a very nearly deadly combination. He lived by the creed that "one must always speak the truth as one sees it, no matter the consequences" and what an extraordinary life it was. It is time to hear and discuss and debate Thomas Paine again, since, as he said, "we have it in our power to begin the world over again".
