Memnon

The Classical Theatre of Harlem (CTH) presents Memnon as the 2025 Uptown Shakespeare in the Park production, bringing a lost epic to New York audiences for the first time. Following a triumphant debut at The Getty Villa in Los Angeles, Memnon makes its East Coast premiere this summer. This groundbreaking production, written by Will Power, conceived by Carl Cofield and Will Power, directed by Carl Cofield and choreographed by Tiffany Rea-Fisher, reclaims the powerful story of Ethiopia’s legendary warrior-king, a long-overlooked figure of the Trojan War. With a cast of acclaimed actors and stunning stagecraft, Memnon is a must-see theatrical event that continues CTH’s tradition of reimagining the classics through a contemporary lens.
