Description

Sport for Jove’s 5-star smash-hit Timon of Athens RETURNS for a strictly limited season
After a SOLD OUT season, Timon of Athens returns for 5 PERFORMANCES ONLY at the Seymour Centre in June 2025.

If you missed this five-star triumph the first time around, your second chance has arrived. Directed by rising star Margaret Thanos, described as "a new star in the firmament of the best Shakespeare productions" (SMH), and led by a powerhouse performance from Damien Ryan, this is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen it - raw, sharp and electrifying.
Be honest now. Do your friends suck? Not always. But, come on, sometimes...?
Timon thought he had it all... the cash, the cache, the companions, and a heart of gold. But these things never last, and nothing hurts like betrayal—you know the story! When it all goes up in smoke, does Greece burn with him? Or does he find it in his heart, and in his wallet, to forgive his friends?


Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens is a black comedy dressed up as a Greek tragedy. A hilariously dark, joyfully brutal and very modern immorality tale which gives you, the playgoer, an extraordinary opportunity to watch a Shakespeare play where you don’t know what happens next, and have no idea how it ends.
