Waterwell announces The Last Year in the Life of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As Devised by Waterwell: A Rock Operetta, an all new theatrical event about one of America's most loved and misunderstood figures.

Featuring an exuberant score of hard edged rock, blues and funk, The/King/Operetta draws on speeches, writings and interviews to give a blistering account of King as he barnstorms the country squaring off against the most powerful forces in politics and commerce.

Facing criticism on all sides and even doubts from his closest advisors, he speaks his mind fearlessly and fights to the end against war, poverty, even his own government.
