The Mountaintop

By Katori Hall

Directed by Cameron Knight

July 13 - October 5, 2024
Eileen and Allen Anes Studio Theatre
Sponsored by the Guild of the Utah Shakespeare Festival



Set on the last night of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life, The Mountaintop transports us to the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where King confronts his legacy and mortality. As he prepares his speech for the following day, he orders a cup of coffee, and the hotel maid who arrives turns out to be more than he ever expected. Although fictional, the play propels us to better understand the human being behind the icon of the Civil Rights Movement.
