About the Reading
The Mountaintop is a gripping reimagination of events the night before the assassination of the civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 3, 1968, after delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.

“as audacious as it is inventive…[a] thrilling, wild, provocative flight of magical realism…
This is playwriting without a net, a defiant poke in the eye of all historical conventions and
political correctness…”
