Mar 30 - Apr 29: Wednesdays and Thursdays @ 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays @ 8 p.m., Sundays @ 5 p.m.
Directed by Cutting Ball Co-Founder Rob Melrose, Timon of Athens is one of Shakespeare's neglected classics, featuring some of the Bard's more experimental verse paired with some of his best poetry. The play tracks two parallel lives: that of Timon, a rich philanthropist, and that of Alcibiadies, a military commander. Both men are betrayed by the people of Athens but face their betrayals in stark contrast. While Timon retreats to the wilderness to live as a hermit, Alcibidies mounts a military campaign to bring his former homeland to its knees. This beautiful and bitter satire inspired much of Samuel Beckett's work, three and a half centuries later.
In the title role of Timon, Brennan Pickman-Thoon leads a crackerjack cast that includes Ed Berkeley, Maria Ascension Leigh, Adam Niemann, Doug Nolan, Radhika Rao, David Sinaiko, John Steele Jr. and Courtney Walsh.
