Timon of Athens

A Stratford Festival production of a rarely seen Shakespearean treasure. Set in the 21st century, it tells the story of nobleman Timon whose generosity makes him the most celebrated man in Athens, until his funds are exhausted, showing how wealth can come on as both protective armor as well as exposure to predators, through a heartbreaking and thought-provoking performance. A true to life, captivating masterpiece that fits well “in a self-absorbed world of virtual reality goggles, cellphone selfies and vacuous club music.” (The Stratford Beacon Herald)
