"Every man has his fault..."

Fortune strains the bonds of friendship. Timon is a wealthy and popular philanthropist with but one flaw—an excess of generosity. Sparing no expense on lavish parties, costly gifts, and charity, Timon later suffers a downturn of fortune and friendship. Robert Richmond (OthelloRichard III and Henry V at Folger Theatre) directs Shakespeare’s social satire about the fickleness of prosperity, with Helen Hayes Award-winner Ian Merrill Peakes (OthelloMacbethRosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead at Folger Theatre) in the title role.
