In this next-to-last #Head2Head in the #ArmchairAudies #AudioDrama category, it's Doctor King vs Doctor Who! And in this round, it's "The Mountaintop" for it's straightforward, powerful message and understated production aesthetic over the razzmatazz BBC audio drama and David Tennant's mumbling. Sometimes, less is more. #AudioDrama ?
🎧 In the second #ArmchairAudies #Head2Head contest in the #AudioDrama category, an upset! 'Alien: Out of the Shadows' is sexy; but 'The Mountaintop' has a better script, acting, and message. Substance over style wins this round! (Tagged under a book related to the subject matter of 'The Mountaintop')
A short one-act play featuring Larry Powell as MLK, and Aja Naomi King as a motel maid - both in an imagined but powerful colloquy set on the eve of Martin Luther King's death. The play evokes rage, dismay, and incredulity, yes; but also compassion and hope. Wish I could see the play; but this is the next best thing!
