Overview
“I’ve been to the mountaintop. I’ve seen the Promised Land.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A gripping and electrifying reimagining of events the night before the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s April 3, 1968, and after delivering his most memorable speech, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages on in Memphis. The Mountaintop is a surrealistic fantasy about a chance encounter between King and a mysterious hotel maid who prompts him to confront his life, his past, his legacy, and the plight and future of his people.
Recommended for ages 14+. Contains strong adult language.
