Description

Alcibiades leads his troops past Timon’s hideout in the wilderness, prompting a barrage of insults and mockery from the malcontent. But when Timon learns Alcibiades is planning to take over Athens, he gives him gold to support the campaign. Alcibiades is followed by the Poet and Painter, who Timon turns away with another barrage of insults. When thieves come to rob him, Timon cheers them on, baffling their efforts and sending them to the city to sow chaos in the streets. The Senators are the last to arrive. Flavia heads them off in an effort to win Timon over to their side before they meet.


The PLAY ON PODCAST SERIES, “TIMON OF ATHENS”, was written by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE and translated into modern English verse by KENNETH CAVANDER. All episodes were directed by ANDY WOLK.
