Timon of Athens

Timon is a wealthy Athenian who spends his money with great beneficence, yet excess. When his fortunes change, his friends and creditors turn their backs on him. Destitute, he wanders the woods outside of Athens, strikes gold and decides to enact revenge against those that spurned him.

A bold and exciting production of this rarely performed Shakespeare, our interpretation will centre around the idea of 'parable'. What does it mean for a parable to be performed? How can religious morale (particularly a Judeo-Christian one) be communicated in a context that pre-dates it? What does it mean for a parable to fail?
