Nichols, LA Times "Ruskin's Paine provides more than a mere history lesson; it's a sort of performance art. Not only do we learn of a largely untold slice of American history, we also get to see an actor in top form. So nuanced and layered is Ruskin's performance, and so enlightening is his script, it's as if Paine has been brought back to life just to speak to us." - Ben Miles Showmag.com <http://showmag.com/> "The bioplay, expertly acted by Ruskin, as July 4th approaches The Life of Thomas Paine is the perfect play to see. It reminds us that revolution is as American as apple pie." - Ed Rampell LA Progressive "Ruskin brings the British-born Paine alive, faults and all, making him a fascinating character, one we should know all the more by reading his oeuvre. With some humor and intriguing personal history, we get to meet the man himself..." - Dale Reynolds, Stage Happenings ***** Audience Response - www.goldstar.com/events/70004/reviews >From Wharf Rats To Lords Of The Docks "Ian Ruskin captures Harry Bridges brilliantly." - Howard Zinn, Historian & Social Activist "Ruskin's script is wonderfully didactic and his presence is compelling. Not only do we see this master stage craftsman in a sterling performance, we also are informed of an important and rarely broached part of America's sordid labor history..From Wharf Rats to Lord of the Docks is a must-see show." - Ben Miles Showmag.com <http://showmag.com/> "A gentle reminder of who this man was and how valuable he was to the global growth of protections for longshoremen, warehousemen and merchant-marine sailors..illuminating people who helped build a strong middle-class in America." - Dale Reynolds, Stage Happenings ***** Audience Response - www.goldstar.com/events/70024/reviews BIO: Ian Ruskin trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
