Written by Katori Hall. Directed by James Baker.
The Mountaintop, a collision of truth and fiction, utilising history and society to empower race, identity, and the human legacy as a whole. The duality of Martin Luther King Jr, both as a private man and a public figure, is embodied through the acceptance of mortality and the encouragement for hope throughout the script. Setting the play at the Lorraine Motel, where King was assassinated, allows the audience a sense of intimacy and relatability to the man as a human being, not just a historic figure.
Venue: The George Harrison Workshop Studio, Liverpool
