National Theatre Live: Timon of Athens
Based on Shakespeare’s play, Timon of Athens tells the tale of conspicuous consumption, debt and ruin. Timon of Athens is a wealthy friend to the rich and powerful. With his riches, he showers hospitality on the city’s elite. Unfortunately, his associates don’t lend him a helping hand when he accidentally spends more than he has on resources. After a final banquet, Timon is forced to withdraw himself to a wasteland, living off nothing but roots and cursing bankrupt Athens.

Reviews
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
