One-Man Show Explores The Life of Paul Robeson Reviews & Ratings

This was a wonderfully uplifting one-man show detailing the life of Paul Robeson. At the end I could barely believe that three hours had gone by in a flash. If you have any chance do not miss this play.

Unbelievable. I knew I would enjoy the subject matter. Had no idea how powerful a play this would be. The quality of the play was matched by the quality of the performance.

Strongly recommend this to anyone. Partcularly if you like Paul Robson....continued

Amazing story, performance, and show. Really unique evening of theater shared with the rest of the audience in the intimate venue. Actor talked with the audience afterwards and answered questions, etc. I highly recommend this show if you have...continued

EXCELLENT all the way around--except parking...

It was ok. The actor really over acted a lot which was so unnecessary. Play was too long.

Absolutely fabulous! Don't miss this wonderful performance about the very special story of Paul Robeson's life. I knew of him only as a singer and was moved to learn all about his many accomplishments and contributions, as well as his trials and...continued

Unbelievable performance, story and evening. Actor & writer, Stogie Kenyatta showcases these talents in an extremely challenging, memorable and moving 2-3/4 hour one-man show. If you do not know the story of this forgotten American icon your...continued

What a show! I went knowing a tiny bit about Paul Robeson, and left feeling like I've known him forever. This show is educational and eye-opening. The performance itself was phenomenal. You will not believe you are at a one man show ... you'll...continued

A riveting one-man play, enhanced by the intimate setting of the Santa Monica Playhouse. Stogie Kenyatta gave a brilliant performance as Paul Robeson. I left the theater feeling like I truly knew the man and his inspiring (and sometimes...continued

Very interesting history - things I didn't know about Paul Robeson. Some parts were a bit over-acted, over-repeated, and overly loud. I do feel that I left knowing (or at least thinking I knew) why Robeson did some of the things he did. Wish...continued

Amazing acting. He put so much into his performance. We were very impressed with his ability to switch characters constantly and act with such conviction, without ever tiring for a three hour show! And we learned a ton about an important man in...continued

Entertaining and informative - one of my favorite combos!

GREAT ACTOR---GREAT SHOW! This may have been the last performance at this theater, I'm not sure. Next time it is performed, go see it if you want to see great acting and a well written play about a famous performer!

But, don't expect to hear...continued

A wonderfully poignant presentation of a major personality in U.S. 20th Century history that includes details not heard anywhere else.

Show was almost three hours long, and no singing. However, acting was excellent, and tells a fascinating story.

Adorable little theatre--convenient to lots of places to eat & parking lots close by. Small, intimate theatre, surprisingly comfortable seats for such a long play. Stogie Kenyatta was amazing--2+ hr. 1-man performance a tour de force, but play...continued

Awesome talented actor. I really enjoyed the performance. I wish there was a intermission or at least a warning before seating because the show was two hours long. It was so enthralling, I could not leave my seat for a restroom break. I was...continued

Thoughtful, entertaining, well done. Would have liked to hear more of the music but the story is so interesting, the message so powerful, it wasn't necessary. Long play, almost 3 hours including 15 min intermission and timely talk at the end - put...continued
