    This Hammer Can’t Kill Me: Paul Robeson, His Music and His Story

    HB Playwrights Foundation Theatre 124 Bank Street, New York, United States

    Hosted by HB Studio, artistic home to Uta Hagen, who played Desdemona to Paul Robeson’s Othello on Broadway, this public conversation with baritone James C Martin will explore Robeson’s lasting impact as artist and activist. It will examine Robeson’s political and artistic journey, and the sold-out 1958 Carnegie Hall concert that marked his comeback from 11 years on the political blacklist. Martin, and pianist-collaborator Lynn Raley, will share selections from Robeson’s repertoire, and from their critically acclaimed album, Wide As Heaven: A Century of Song By Black American Composers.

    $15 – $20
