Description

The Mountaintop by Katori Hall A powerful and poignant play that explores the complexities of human nature in the face of mortality. On the night before his assassination, Martin Luther King, Jr. is forced to confront his past and the future of his people when a mysterious young maid visits him at the Lorraine Motel. As King retires to room 306, he must navigate the weight of his own rhetoric, hope, and ideals for social change. This one-act play is a dramatic feat that balances historical narration with triumphant compassion, offering a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human in the face of inevitable death. Featuring notes and commentary by Harvey Young, this edition offers insight into key themes including race, identity, politics, magical realism, and one-act plays.
