Written by Daniel Beaty

Directed by Moises Kaufman

Co-produced with La Jolla Playhouse in association with Tectonic Theater Project.

As an internationally-renowned vocalist and star of stage and screen, Paul Robeson was one of the best known African American artists in the world in the early 20th century. Through his singing and acting talent, he became enormously popular and wealthy; but as a champion for human rights, he became controversial to his people and his country. Featuring excerpts from some of Robeson’s signature songs, The Tallest Tree showcases award-winning playwright and performer Daniel Beaty in a stunning piece that explores the bold choices that defined Robeson’s remarkable life.
Appropriate for ages 13 & up.
 

'A charismatic performer with a commanding voice.' - KC Star

'the Rep's elegant staging and Beaty's prodigious talent succeed in creating a musically lush, historically fascinating portrait of a man both revered and radicalized.' - The Pitch

'An exceedingly well-done bio-drama, entertaining and enlightening'
'Beaty gives a virtuoso performance”
