“Tallest Tree”: My FT Review
The Financial Times has posted my review of “The Tallest Tree in the Forest,” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Harvey Lichtenstein space. Bottom line: ‘No one quite like Paul Robeson, the subject of this solo show written and performed by Daniel Beaty, exists in our age. You would have to meld Tom Brady with Simon Russell Beale with Bryn Terfel, and that person would have to be a legal scholar and political activist to boot. What Beaty does, in this touching, informative evening, is provide an approximation.’
