THE MOUNTAINTOP

by Katori Hall
16 July - 5 September 2009

Following a sell-out run at Theatre503, The Mountaintop moves to Trafalgar Studios in the West End. 

The night before his assassination Martin Luther King retires to room 306 in the now famous Lorraine Motel in Memphis after giving an acclaimed speech to a massive church congregation. When a mysterious young maid visits him, King is forced to confront his past and the future of his people.

David Harewood, recently seen in the Hollywood blockbuster Blood Diamond, plays King in a hauntingly inspiring portrait.
