Stage preview: Public's 'Thurgood' aims to be intimate look at epic man

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: So much of what Thurgood Marshall accomplished is well-documented: As attorney for the NAACP in 1954, he won the Brown v. Board of Education case, in which the Supreme Court ended racial segregation in public schools. In 1967, he became our first African-American Supreme Court justice. "Thurgood" attempts to give us insights into the man, and to revisit the play today comes with an added obligation to explore the times.
