On April 3, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his last night on Earth in room 306 of the Lorraine Motel. This fictional account of that final evening explores the man behind the legend.
“Even before the first flash of lightning—and there will be plenty of that before evening’s end—an ominous electricity crackles through the opening moments of THE MOUNTAINTOP.” —The New York Times.
“[THE MOUNTAINTOP] crackles with theatricality and a humanity more moving than sainthood.” —Newsday (NY).
