“Shakespeare never does anything on a small scale; he always takes on something big…” notes Stathis Livathinos.
Timon, a lord of the city of Athens, lives a carefree life, bestowing gifts upon his loyal and beloved friends. He enjoys their company and believes in their honesty and gratitude. At some point, Timon’s friendships will be tested and those who have benefited from him will be called upon to prove their feelings towards him.
In Timon, Shakespeare sets aside the trials of love and the agonising philosophical questions that define most of his work, taking on a tangible everyday subject that is deeply familiar to most audiences! A challenging play about wealth, debt, friendship, flattery, blindness, illusions, generosity and ingratitude; timeless in its relevance.
