You will need to listen to the audio play The Mountaintop and read the “A Little Context on the Play” before responding to this DB.

This week we listened to Katori Hall’s The Mountaintop, a fictional play, based on a real historical figure that imagines the last hours of Dr. MLK’s life. In this play, the playwright mixes a historical event with elements of magic realism (fantasy) to discuss the life and legacy of MLK, a historical figure and social justice icon.

1) What did you think of this play? Did it allow you to see another side of MLK?  Did it help you appreciate his work/legacy? Please explain. (10pts)

2) Reflect on the themes discussed in this play. What do you think was the goal of the playwright in writing and presenting this story to the world?  Was she successful? (why/why not?) (10pts)
