Connect: Katori Hall’s “The Mountaintop” directed by Jade Lambert-Smith

  • Hammond's House 503 Peeples Street Southwest Atlanta, GA, 30310 United States (map)

The night before his assassination, Martin Luther King, Jr. returns to the Lorraine Hotel after delivering his last impassioned speech, I’ve Been to the Mountaintop. A mysterious maid delivers his room service, though she seems to have more on her agenda than a simple meal. As their conversation progresses, true intentions come to light in a story written to humanize Dr. King, to help us understand that you don’t have to be superhuman to be a hero.
