==Sunday 30th October CALL MR ROBESON: A LIFE WITH SONGS 7.30pm, Norwich Puppet Theatre==
 
Written and performed by Tayo Aluko.
A musical biography of Paul Robeson’s life narrated and sung by Tayo
Aluko. Tickets £12/£10 concessions available from the Norwich Puppet
Theatre.

Paul Robeson is a great and famous actor, singer and civil rights
campaigner. When he gets too radical and outspoken for the establishment’s
liking he is branded a traitor to his country, is harassed and denied
opportunities to perform or travel.

The show features some famous songs and speeches, including a dramatic
rendition of Ol’ Man River and a spectacularly defiant testimony to the
Senate House Un-American Activities Committee.

It has been highly acclaimed by the press and the following are some quotes:-
  •A stunning piece of musical theatre… high quality drama, first class
    singing Fringe Review,  Edinburgh Fringe 2010
  •Excellent…convincing…gripping… inspiring production. Broadway Baby
  •Never less than utterly believable. British Theatre Guide
  •Simply told but immensely powerful. The Scotsman

Tayo Aluko has kindly agreed to donate a share of the proceeds to the work
of the Norwich Stop the War Coalition.
