Timon is a most generous man, helping out citizens in need and hosting lavish feasts for his friends. But when they discover his munificence has left him deep in debt, the flatterers and hangers-on soon spurn him. Disillusioned and angry he leaves Athens for the wilderness, where a chance discovery reverses his fortunes... In his most cynical work, Shakespeare explores the nature of money - its virtues and vices.
