The Pear Theatre continues it's 20th season with a third round of Pear Pairings featuring: The Mountaintop by Pulitzer Prize recipient and Olivier Award-winning playwright Katori Hall, and Sunset Baby by MacArthur Genius Grant recipient and Obie Award-winning playwright Dominique Morisseau.

The stage directions that introduce Katori Hall's The Mountaintop are simple – but their import is weighty. Hall's play imagines the last night of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life. He's just delivered one of his most lauded speeches, 'I've Been to the Mountaintop', and is struggling to write his next, when there's a knock at the door; his encounter with a mysterious woman, sent to deliver him coffee, sends his world into a tailspin.

The Mountaintop is a gripping re-imagination of events the night before the assassination of the civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: on April 3, 1968, after delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny, his accomplishments, and his legacy to his people.
