We are thrilled to host the British actor Ian Ruskin who wrote and directs himself in the one-man show: To begin the world again: the life of Thomas Paine.
This one man play tells the story of one of history's most mis-understood men. Thomas Paine lived his life with one principle above all others…that “one must always speak the truth as one sees it, no matter the consequences”
His work “Common Sense” is said to have sparked the American Revolution, another “Rights of Man” is thought to have defined the French Revolution, and “The Age of Reason” called on us to use our ability to reason as the basis for our beliefs and morality.
Talks in English is a series of talks on a wide range of subjects open to our students and the general public.
