Intrepid Theatre presents Tayo Aluko (UK) in �Call Mr Robeson� the rollercoaster journey through actor, singer and pioneer civil rights activist Paul Robeson�s remarkable life. This ��simply-told but immensely powerful� play (The Scotsman) highlights how Robeson�s radical activism caused him to be disowned and disremembered, even by the leaders and descendants of the civil rights movement and �helps to restore him to our collective memory, with great grace.� 4 Stars, The Scotsman
With much fiery oratory and Robeson�s famous songs, such as Ol� Man River, Tayo Aluko revives one of the 20th Century�s most impressive but overlooked figures in this powerful, compelling performance, which was seen at New York�s Carnegie Hall in February 2012.
