The production of The Mountaintop chronicles the night before Martin Luther King, Jr.’s fateful assassination. The recreated scene occurs at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN after delivering his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech on April 3, 1968. In the motel room, Dr. King gets a visit from a mysterious housekeeper who sparks a conversation in which the civil rights champion is revealed as a complex man struggling with doubt and the honest burden of his duty and destiny. Dr. King’s final night is an insightful look inside the mind of a martyr of a movement that changed race relations forever. Directed by Brett Ashley Robinson, Akeem Davis plays Dr. King, interpreting Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall’s vision. Individual tickets: $55 to $70 ($5 discounts for seniors 62+, educators, students, & military). Arden Theatre Company, 215-922-1122 or boxofficer@ardentheatre.org
