Cleveland Shakespeare Festival: David Hansen and Luke Brett

Cleveland Shakespeare Festival presents: The Life of Timon of Athens
By William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton
With Original Music by Gary Lee
June 5-28

Timon was the most admired man on campus — and generous to a fault. Betrayed by his friends, he abandons civilization and goes “back-to-the-land”. As unrest grows in Athens, both sides appeal for his help. Set at a certain state university in 1970 against a backdrop of unpopular war and student unrest, “The Life of Timon of Athens” is a hilarious history of hip hypocrisy.

All performances begin at 7pm.  Please bring your own chairs or blankets.
