Description

Olivier and triple Fringe First-winning Fishamble’s KING, by Herald Archangel winner Pat Kinevane, tells the story of Luther, a man from Cork named in honour of his Granny Bee Baw’s hero, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Luther only leaves his apartment for essential journeys, and to perform as an Elvis impersonator. The play explores prejudice, privilege and resilience, as Luther struggles to live life to the full. The UK Premiere of KING has been programmed by Dance Base in collaboration with Assembly, and is supported by Culture Ireland. ‘Incredibly compelling’ (Irish Times). ‘Unsurpassed… immaculate’ (Sunday Independent).
