A Memphis motel, 1968. First night for a sassy maid—last for an icon of our time, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fresh from the speech of a lifetime. In a breathtaking journey beyond realism, this provocative London/Broadway hit imagines the night before tragedy, burnishing a legend while revealing the flesh-and-blood man behind it. Humorous, magical, it is a daring rumination on life, legacy, and conviction… Show more that connects each of us in a remembrance of unforgettable things past.

Contains mature language.

“Emotionally powerful...theatrically stunning.” Variety
