Call Mr. Robeson

Call Mr. Robeson, an award-winning one-man play about the famous African American actor, singer and civil rights pioneer. The play has toured around the UK and in America over the last few years, and has recently had a triumphant showing at the world famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it received multiple 5-star ratings. Previously, it had picked up the Best Male Performer award, an Argus Angel Award for Artistic Excellence, and was nominated for Best Show at the Brighton Festival Fringe in 2008.

Call Mr. Robeson has been awarded 5 Stars on no less than six occasions by Fringe festival reviewers. One enthused: "I struggle desperately to find words that can truly express my feelings for this production and as such, I urge you, from somewhere within me that I haven't been in touch with for a long time, to go and experience it for yourself." (Three Weeks, Brighton Fringe 2010)

Another described the performance as "Never less than utterly believable... stirring and moving.. a comforting and entertaining journey" (British Theatre Guide, Edinburgh Fringe 2010),

The Scotsman's Reviewer thought the story "Simply-told but immensely powerful...helps to restore [Robeson] to our collective memory, with great grace." (Edinburgh Fringe, 2010)
