This weekend I’ll be attending a performance of the NZ Fringe Festival performance of Call Mr Robeson: A Life, With Songs a play about the actor, singer and civil rights campaigner Paul Robeson.

I’ll be following this up by recording some thoughts and reflections about the play and Robeson’s life which will be available on Sunday night.

In the meantime here’s some affecting footage from Robeson’s visit with workers at the Sydney Opera House.
