• The story of Tom Paine's extraordinary life , interweaving Paine's own words from his letters and pamphlets that made him one of the most influential and dangerous writers of his age, with extracts from newspaper reports, diaries and other documents of the times. The songs of Robb Johnson and Leon Rosselson add another dimension to the story, reflecting Paine's radical ideas and evaluating them in the context of the 21st century.

• As solo performers Rosselson and Johnson have been folk club favourites for many years, both specialising in their own topical and satirical material. The Daily Telegraph described the combination as "a highly subversive pairing of two of the left's most eloquent song writers".
