RIVERSIDE THEATRES
Saturday, 24 & Sunday, 25 November

Featuring Martin Chamberlain, Jason Cheater, Stavros Demetraki, Paul Dodds, Deborah Findlay, Ciaran McMenamin, Simon Russell Beale and Nick Sampson

Broadcast live from London, Timon of Athens is screening at Riverside Theatres as part of the National Theatre Live series for two special performances on Saturday, 24 November and Sunday, 25 November.

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.
