Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated while standing on a Lorraine Motel balcony in Memphis, Tenn. In town to support striking African-American sanitation workers, King had delivered his famed "I've Been to the Mountaintop" address just one night before. Playwright Katori Hall examines what might have happened to King between the speech and the shot in her Olivier Award-winning play The Mountaintop, which receives its Pittsburgh premiere at City Theatre.
