Show Overview
‘The Mountaintop’ is a warm and lively play written by Katori Hall. It is also lightly feminist without being dogmatic and the result is a very enjoyable fantasy based on Martin Luther King’s last night alive.
Hall grew up in Memphis close to where King was assassinated and so she has more than a passing interest in his life. As a young, black feminist, Hall has enjoyed bringing an unlikely female into King’s life, to flirt with but ultimately challenge the icon of American history. Camae is the maid who brings King his ‘last cup of tea’ and she has her own powerful rhetoric about life and insists that God is a black woman.
As with any play based on someone’s life, one can only wonder just how King spent his last night but we do know it was in a hotel room in the now famous Lorraine Hotel. He was shot and killed by a single bullet as he stood on the balcony of the hotel. It was the day after he had made a speech at the Mason Temple in Memphsis.
Hall handles the possibilities in the hotel room with a little fun and the right amount of tenderness to leave you feeling warm about King’s last night. If he had met Camae and they had flirted and talked together, it would have been a fulfilling ‘last night’.
A wonderful play with two superb performances by David Harewood (Blood Diamond and Robin Hood) and Lorraine Burroughs.
