The Mountaintop

By: Katori Hall

September 22 – October 16

The night before his 1968 assassination, Martin Luther King, Jr. retires to the Lorraine Hotel after delivering his last impassioned speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” He flirts with a comely room-service maid, whose agenda is greater than a simple meal. As their conversation deepens, true intentions come to light in a story about racism and justice, the divergent paths of legacy, and how a great man is also a human being. Although it is structured like a traditional play, The Mountaintop is steeped in magical realism and symbolism.

In this dark, pill-popping comedy, the pair’s illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to confront the ethical consequences of their work and their personal life decisions. The action moves quickly and takes place in multiple settings; boundaries blur, and time and space distort.
