The Mountaintop by Katori Hall
June 6, 2023 - July 9, 2023
$30 – $129
The Geffen Playhouse presents The Mountaintop by Katori Hall, directed by Patricia McGregor and featuring Jon Michael Hill and Amanda Warren.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Tony nominee Jon Michael Hill, Elementary, Superior Donuts) retires to the Lorraine Motel after delivering his history-altering “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech and encounters Camae (Amanda Warren, Gossip Girl, East New York, Dickinson), a mysterious maid with some surprising news. As a lightning storm rages outside, the legacy of America’s most revered civil rights leader is laid bare to reveal his 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.
