THE MOUNTAINTOP
By Katori Hall
Directed by Cameron Knight
Sponsored by the Guild of the Utah Shakespeare Festival
Set on the last night of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life, The Mountaintop transports us to the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where King confronts his legacy and mortality. As he prepares his speech for the following day, he orders a cup of coffee, and the hotel maid who arrives turns out to be more than he ever expected. Although fictional, the play propels us to better understand the human being behind the icon of the Civil Rights Movement.
