“King” tells the story of Luther, a man from County Cork in southern Ireland 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.
Fishamble’s “King” written by and starring Pat Kinevane opened in Ireland in 2023 and transferred to Dance Base as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it was nominated for the Mental Health Foundation award and named a Pick of the Fringe.
In "King" insítear scéal Luther, fear as Corcaigh, a ainmníodh as laoch a Mhamó Bee Baw, Martin Luther King Jr. Tá Luther imníoch ach lán le diabhlaíocht, uaigneach ach lán le dóchas. Agus é ag ullmhú d’oíche mhór mar aithriseoir Elvis, tá sé ag machnamh ar an am atá thart agus ag aislingeacht faoina bhfuil i ndán dó… rómánsaíocht, b’fhéidir. Ní fada go dtiteann oíche Luther as a chéile agus tagann coimhlint aisteach chun cinn idir cuimhne agus dúil.
