Luther King gets Samuel L. treatment

A theatre production focusing on the final, fateful night of Martin Luther King has taken to the Broadway stage.

Civil rights leader King was murdered at a Mephis motel in 1968.

Played by Samuel L. Jackson, he's shown in a different light to the one with which many are familiar with.

It's partly this treatment (referred to as taking 'historical liberties' by the Broadway.com website) which has raised interest in some quarters.
