The Mountaintop
Oct 9 @ 2:00 pm
Flat Rock Playhouse

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. retires to the Lorraine Motel after delivering a history-altering “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech and encounters Camae, a mysterious maid with some surprising news. When Camae reveals her true identity Dr. King must reflect on his legacy and the challenges facing the civil rights movement, which lays bare the leader’s profound humanity.  Hailed as “a thrilling, wild, provocative flight of magical realism…as audacious as it is inventive” by the Associated Press, Katori Hall’s Olivier Award-winning drama reimagines what Dr. King’s last night on Earth could have been.
