Timon of Athens
National Theatre Live  the best of British theatre broadcast live to cinemas worldwide

Sponsored by
The Bristal Assisted Living at East Northport

Simon Russell Beale takes the title role in William Shakespeare's strange fable of consumption, debt and ruin, written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton.

Wealthy friend to the rich and powerful, patron of the arts, ostentatious host, Timon of Athens is surrounded by free-loaders and sycophants. He vastly outspends his resources but, finding his coffers empty, reassures his loyal steward that all will be well.

When he calls upon his associates, instead of offering help, they hang him out to dry. After a final, vengeful banquet, Timon withdraws to a literal and emotional wasteland, living off roots and pouring curses on a morally bankrupt Athens.

Simon Russell Beale has been described by the Independent as 'the greatest stage actor of his generation.' His recent work for the National Theatre includes London Assurance, Much Ado About Nothing and Collaborators, John Hodge's Olivier Award-nominated new play in which he portrayed Stalin. Running time: 3 hours (estimate) including host introduction and one 20-minute intermission

Cast: Simon Russell Beale, Martin Chamberlain, Jason Cheater, Stavros Demetraki, Paul Dodds, Deborah Findlay, Ciaran McMenamin, Nick Sampson / Director: Nicholas Hytner

"A fable about the toxic nature of a ruthlessly commercialised world." Guardian

"Bold, incisive revival ... an urgent play for today." Daily Telegraph

"A lacerating parable for our troubled times. A characteristically terrific performance from Simon Russell Beale." Evening Standard

"Fast, venomously satirical." Daily Mail

"Nicholas Hytner has seized the cynical, disillusioned day. He hurls Timon into the 21st century and finds it lands there almost perfectly." Daily Telegraph

"It"s a wonder we"ve had to wait until now to get a revival for Timon of Athens... Nicholas Hytner"s production is so relevant... almost flawless." Time Out

"An exhilarating production featuring a compelling performance by Simon Russell Beale." Guardian

"De-barnacled and bejewelled, that Bard"s tricky play shines like a topical treasure." Independent on Sunday
