Why see The Tallest Tree in the Forest?

Obie-winning writer and performer Daniel Beaty tells the story of Paul Robeson's remarkable life in this theatrical biography. Playing not only Robeson but also dozens of international personalities who crossed the legendary figure's path, Beaty fills the theatre with the dreams, words and songs (classics like "Ol' Man River") of a man who sacrificed everything in the name of liberty.
