FUNDERS AND SUPPORTERS: THANK YOU!

Award-Winning Paul Robeson play to raise funds for five Campaigns and Charities, including Crossroads Women
Call Mr. Robeson, an award-winning play about the African American singer, actor and Civil Rights activist, Paul Robeson, is to be performed at Theatro Technis in Camden, London from 4th to 23rd January 2011. Its writer and performer, Tayo Aluko will be donating proceeds from five of the twenty four performances to some London-based organisations that represent causes that Paul Robeson would have supported. The organisations are: Anti-Slavery International, Fairtrade London, Stop the War Coalition, Think Global (Development Education Association) and Crossroads Women. Tuesday 18 Jan 2011 - Fundraiser for Crossroads Women Aluko said: "Paul Robeson was an international superstar who decided to use his fame to champion causes that promoted peace, equality and justice around the world. Despite suffering at the hands of the Establishment because of his beliefs, his story is very inspiring, and I would like to think he would approve of money being raised for such causes today, as they often struggle for funding."
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).
