"Fortune’s the fool’s best friend."

By William Shakespeare

July 23 to August 3 | Schubert Theatre

Timon of Athens, once the life of every party and generous benefactor, finds himself abandoned when his fortune runs dry. Betrayed by those he trusted most, his legendary generosity turns to seething rage, transforming him from Athens’ favorite host to its most dangerous outcast. As his fury builds, the city trembles before a man with nothing left to lose.

Performed “Extreme Shakespeare” style—actors arrive with lines learned, rehearse on their own, and open within days. No directors. No designers. Just pure adrenaline and raw talent unleashed on Shakespeare’s blistering commentary on wealth and loyalty.

Don’t miss your chance to experience one of Shakespeare’s lesser-produced masterpieces—this might be your only opportunity to witness Timon of Athens live!

Running Time: Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission.

Content Advisory: Timon of Athens is one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known tragedies and contains Shakespeare’s usual sexual puns and innuendo, and themes of recklessness and ruin, but is suitable for most audiences.

Recommended Age: 12+
