Flat Rock Playhouse is proud to present The Mountaintop by Katori Hall October 4 – 13 as part of the Black Box Series. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play, 2010.
The night before his assassination, Martin Luther King, Jr. returns to the Lorraine Hotel after delivering his last impassioned speech, I’ve been to the Mountaintop. A mysterious maid delivers his room service, though she seems to have more on her agenda than a simple meal. As their conversation progresses, true intentions come to light in a story written to humanize Dr. King, to help us understand that you don’t have to be superhuman to be a hero.
Don’t miss The Mountaintop, running October 4 – 13 only. *Adult language and content. This performance may contain smoking of tobacco-free cigarettes. Parental discretion is advised.
