Timon Of Athens





Used and recommended by the National Theatre


Backed by a massive national marketing and publicity campaign - in collaboration with the National Theatre. Kicking off with Shakespeare's birthday on 23rd April and Nick Hytner's new production of Henry IV, Parts One and Two (starring Michael Gambon) at the start of their 2005 £10 season

After squandering his wealth with prodigal generosity, a rich Athenian gentleman finds himself deep in debt. Unshaken by the prospect of bankruptcy, he is certain that the friends he has helped so often will come to his aid. But when they learn his wealth is gone, he quickly finds that their promises fall away to nothing in this tragic exploration of power, greed, and loyalty betrayed.
