Timon of Athens (The Life of Tymon of Athens) is a play by William Shakespeare, published in the First Folio (1623) and probably written in collaboration with another author, most likely Thomas Middleton, in about 1605–1606. It is about the fortunes of an Athenian named Timon (and probably influenced by the philosopher of the same name). The central character is a well beloved citizen of Athens who through tremendous generosity spends his entire fortunes on corrupt hangers-on only interested in getting the next payout. The earliest known production of the play was in 1674, when Thomas Shadwell wrote an adaptation under the title The History of Timon of Athens, The Man-hater.[1] Multiple other adaptations followed over the next century, by writers such as Thomas Hull, James Love and Richard Cumberland.[2] The straight Shakespearean text was at Smock Alley in Dublin in 1761, but adaptations continued to dominate the stage until well into the 20th century.[3][4] Timon of Athens was originally grouped with the tragedies, but some scholars[who?] name it one of the problem plays

Timon of Athens(annotated), by William Shakespeare Review "The Shakespeare Newsletter" It's hard to see how the New Folger Library's section on Shakespeare's language could be much better. An exceptionally good choice for an introductory text.

About the Author Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.

Although the Folger Shakespeare Library editions are not my favourite mass market pb editions of Shakerspeare (I prefer the Bantam/Signet editions, with their wealth of commentary that follows the text of the play), for single reading editions of the plays they are easy and superbly presented. The text is printed in single column on the right, with extensive commentary/explanation and occasional illustration to the left. The introductions are functional and usually interesting. This play was never printed in Quarto in Shakespeare's lifetime, and its first publication was in the First Folio of 1623, assembled by two gentlemen players from Shakespeare's acting troupe (people often ask, "Where are the MSS of Shakespeare's plays, why didn't he leave them to someone in his will; but obviously his acting troupe owned the original copies, from which they assembled the First Folio). TIMON OF ATHENS has never been one of the poet's popular plays, but it is fascinating. The BBC production is quite good. This was the favourite play of Karl Marx! In his 2007 edition of the Complete Works, editor and scholar Jonathan Bate states that the play may have been written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton. It is a dark play sans humor, deeply pessimistic and troubling. There are some great speeches, especially in the latter half, particularly in Act IV. I believe one may view the entire BBC televised production, in segments, on YouTube.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Arkangel Timon of Athens a fine production By F. Behrens Among the least performed of all the Shakespeare plays, is probably the most disturbing. In the beginning, Timon is (not to put too fine a point on it) stupidly philanthropic; in the end he is equally misanthropic. When Timon is on top of the world, we have the cynical Apemantus to be our voice and let him know what a fool he is. In the last two acts, we simply wish (I do, at least) that our hero would stop complaining and let us "pass and stay not here," as he would have all men do in his epitaph. But a recording is to be judged on its performances, not so much on its text. The Arkangel series, now in its last laps toward completion before (I am told) it is all redone on CDs, has every reason to be proud of its "Timon of Athens," thanks to its strong and intelligent readings. The opening scenes of artisans and poets building up the play's themes of wheel-of-fortune and gratitude/ingratitude are almost intelligible without a text open before you. Alan Howard, whom I saw in New York long ago as Henry V and as the main character in "Good," has that kind of friendly voice that is so well suited to the extravagant Timon in the open acts that we feel all the more for him when his false friends deny him in his need. The snarling voice of Norman Rodway's Apemantus is a perfect counterpoint, and he casts out his invective in those early scenes with a hint of humor. However, when Timon becomes the misanthrope, his voice darkens and coarsens; and it is very hard to tell it from Apemantus' in their overly-long exchange of curses in 4:3. If the actor playing Alcibiades (Damian Lewis) sounds far too young for the role, that is a minor quibble--and perhaps the director wanted him to sound like a young Timon. The incidental music sounds sufficiently Greek but too modern; still, Ingratitude knows no particular time period. A superior production of a much flawed play and a very welcome addition to any collection of recorded drama, especially since the old Decca set is long out of print and Harper audio does not yet have a "Timon" in their series.

I figured it would be one of the less rewarding plays since I rarely hear it referenced, but it turned out to be a delightful premise full of the best Shakespearean insults in the canon. It's a short play and some argue that the ending is left unfinished, but I'm obsessed with it. The Arkangel dramatization no doubt contributing to my positive impression. The entire cast is extremely talented, nailing the timing and executing spot-on delivery. I highly recommend reading this play along with this audio version.
