FRI, APR 28 | 7 PM ET | Classical Theatre of Harlem’s SNEAK PEEK of Memnon

Running Time: 90 Mins

Inspired by long lost historical records, Memnon reintroduces a legendary Ethiopian king—son of Tithonus and Eos, nephew to Priam—who fought alongside Troy after Hector’s death. Until now, his valor and legacy survived only in ancient fragments mentioned by Homer and others. With playwright Will Power’s riveting script and direction by Carl Cofield, CTH celebrates an African hero overlooked by history. This special preview and conversation explore cultural memory, diverse storytelling, and the importance of reviving voices long silenced. Join us in rediscovering a once-forgotten warrior whose story resonates powerfully in today’s world.
