The Mountaintop

Katori Hall's play, which imagines an encounter between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a Lorraine Motel housekeeper on the final night of King's life, is among the most-produced new plays in the country this season. Ron OJ Parson helms the Chicago premiere at Court Theatre, running concurrently with Parson's transcendent revival of A Raisin in the Sun at TimeLine Theatre.
