Glad I caught this at the new City Theatre Studio in Southampton
I knew this was depicting Martin Luther King’s final hours in the motel room, but I didn’t expects to see where this play actually went.
There was plenty of touching, hilarious, and poignant moments thanks mostly to the acting in this two hander. Gbolahan Obisesan gave a very convincing grounded the King himself, especially seeing what he goes through with Rochelle Rose as this sassy, flirtatious, but allusive room service maid
Maybe I didn’t need the montage that came at the end, but at least they thought to keep it up to date without pulling any cheap punches
Well worth the praise the play has received

Finding it impossible to find any details of the full tour routing. Rather simple oversight in this age of digital information access..
Edit: Finally. None of the official channels producing this actually have full routing details. Doesn't get close to me so will miss it, unfortunately.
