Image Tony Torn, center, as Paul Swan in “Paul Swan Is Dead and Gone.” “Camp sees everything in quotation marks,” Susan Sontag wrote in her 1964 essay “Notes on ‘Camp.’” “It’s not a lamp, but a ‘lamp’; not a woman but a ‘woman.’” I suppose that makes “Paul Swan Is Dead and Gone,” which opened on Wednesday, a “play.” It’s certainly not a conventional drama, any more than the real Paul Swan was a conventional artist.
