A provocative, wild, unpredictable new play, The Many Mistresses of Martin Luther King is a darkly humorous expose of a modern American family of mixed races and second wives set in a university town with all its attendant politics, both academic and racial. This smart theatrical tour de force presents characters who behave badly but never according to the usual stereotypes. Familiar talking points about race in America are turned on their head, and there is certainly no preaching to the converted. Prepare to have assumptions and expectations challenged in this daring new work by New York playwright, Andrew Dolan.
