Katori Hall's stunning two-hander The Mountaintop transferred to Trafalgar Studios from 16 July 2009, following a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Theatre503.
The Mountaintop starred David Harewood (Blood Diamond, Robin Hood) as Martin Luther King in a thrilling portrait that makes a man of the legend - exhausted, lonely and wracked by fears for the civil rights movement which will be his historic legacy.
