Jackson and Angela Bassett are inviting audiences into the Lorraine Motel room of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to examine the final hours of the civil rights pioneer's life in The Mountaintop. Shortly before the play's September 22 start date at Broadway's Jacobs Theatre, the starry duo (joined by playwright Katori Hall and Mountaintop director Kenny Leon) chatted with Broadway.com about this moving piece of historical fiction and how the play reveals a more personal side to Dr. King. Take a look at what the team had to say, and be sure to plan your own trip to journey to The Mountaintop.
