Dream on Monkey Mountain

Broadway veteran Andre DeShields (Play On! and The Full Monty) stars in Derek Walcott’s Dream on Monkey Mountain at the Classical Theater of Harlem. The play tells the story of a lonely old man who experiences a messianic vision to save all the peoples stolen and then lost in the Americas. His quest for a new world leads him on a mystic journey back to Africa, where he assumes the mantle of a great warrior chief with the power to put the western world itself on trial.
