“Timon of Athens’’ is one of the most obscure of Shakespeare’s plays, says Allyn Burrows, artistic director of the Actors’ Shakespeare Project, and the name is often mispronounced. It rhymes with Simon. Now the troupe is producing what it says is the play’s professional Boston premiere at Midway Studios, with Burrows playing Timon under the direction of company member Bill Barclay.One reason may be that apparently it is not all Shakespeare’s work. “Timon’’ is thought to be partly written by his contemporary Thomas Middleton.
In the 1607 play, Timon is a wealthy Athenian nobleman who gives generously to friends, hangers-on, and even the government. But when his bills come due and he reaches out for help, they all desert him, leaving him ruined, a misanthropic hermit bent on revenge.
And although the parallels are not direct, the themes of borrowing and insolvency carry their own currency these days.
We hope you can join us!
Sincerely, Performance begins: 7:30pm
