About the production

Winner of the 2010 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play. On the night of April 3, 1968, as the heralded words delivered that afternoon during his Mountaintop speech still echo outside, Dr. King sits inside Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel. Wrestling with his next speech and desperately craving a coffee and cigarette, enters Camae, the motel’s quick witted, attractive maid supplied with refreshment and some down home, tell-it-like-it-is wisdom. Their teasing banter soon leads to powerful exchanges on family, race, love, mortality, and legacy. Funny, tender, and at times magical, Katori Hall’s play is a poignant reflection of the father, husband, and devoted man behind the legend.
