Play In a Day: Timon of Athens

Bell Shakespeare brings 'Timon of Athens' from the page to the stage in one afternoon.

Play In A Day is Bell Shakespeare's lively script reading series celebrating rarely read classics. Actors and director have one day to rehearse as a group before standing script-in-hand in front of an audience.

This stripped-back performance allows the audience a rare insight into what it takes to bring Shakespeare's work from the page to the stage.

'Timon of Athen's focuses on a wealthy and generous nobleman who is deserted by his friends when he falls on hard times. This rarely performed play is perhaps Shakespeare's darkest meditation on human nature. It's a timely warning about the corrupting influence of money and the corrosive impact hatred can have on our society.

Professor David McInnis who is editing 'Timon' for the Arden Shakespeare 4th Series joins Bell Shakespeare director Tim Paige to share his insights into the play.

Presented in partnership with Bell Shakespeare and supported by University of Melbourne Arts and Culture (UMAC).

What to expect:

A script reading in two acts with a 15 min interval.
Drinks and snacks can be purchased at the bar with a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available.
