Stratford Festival: Timon of Athens

Presented by Lark Theater at Lark Theater, Larkspur CA

Jun 14 - 16 2018

Timon’s compulsive generosity makes him the most popular man in Athens – until his funds run out. Now, embittered by ingratitude, what will he do when his city comes under attack?

TICKETS

Convinced of the essential goodness of humanity, the wealthy nobleman Timon ignores all warnings that his reckless generosity can lead only to ruin and disillusionment.

Finding himself bankrupt at last, Timon seeks financial assistance from the flattering “friends” on whom he has bestowed so many extravagant gifts and such lavish hospitality.

When all refuse him, he throws one last party – one that heralds a dramatic change in his attitude to the world.

Screened in HD from Stratford Festival, Ontario, Canada.
