2024
Books
The night before his assassination, Martin Luther King retires to room 306 in the now-famous Lorraine Motel after giving an acclaimed speech to a massive church congregation. When a mysterious young maid visits him to deliver a cup of coffee, King is forced to confront his past and the future of his people. Portraying rhetoric, hope and ideals of social change, 'The Mountaintop' also explores what it is to be human in the face of inevitable death. Premiered in London in 2009, it is the third of Katori Hall's 'Memphis Plays' tetralogy.
