Stratford's Timon of Athens
offers world of difference
By Ray Lewis
STRATFORD - For those looking for something different at Strat-
ford, the company's production of Timon of Athens is just what the
doctor ordered. Although the plot remains weak because the play was
never finished, it offers a unique lesson on how Shakespear& devel-
oped his work.
Timon, born very rich, finds fulfilment throughout his middle age
by dispensing his wealth upon friends. Constantly warned against
these actions by his faithful steward, Flavius, and a cynic, Apemantus,
he continues until his assets have been completely frittered away. De-
serted by his friends in his hour of need, Timon retires to the forest to
live from the land.
In digging for roots to eat, he comes upon a treasure of gold, but by
this time he has scorned both wealth and Athenian society. Timon
dispenses the gold to others whose intentions are to bring the state to
ruin, such as his friend Alcibiades, a disillusioned and exiled army
captain who vows revenge upon Athens. As Alcibiades captures the
city, news is brought of Timons' death by the sea, and his final epitaph
condemning the state.
Seldom performed, the piece seems to be lacking. Brian Bedford,
having appeared on Cheers, Murder She Wrote and as an 11 -year vet-
eran of Stratford, is the play's saving grace. John Franklyn -Robbins
is exceptional in the role of Apemantus, but the character probably
doesn't appear enough to offer a much needed balance.
Timon of Athens appears to have been written during a point in time
when the author felt very low about the human race. Timon demon-
strates that people can live happily fulfilling what they believe. That
is unless they attempt to apply the same doctrine to money; then it
doe9n't work.
So many things appear to be missing in the play, which comes
across as a rough draft. The secondary plot of Alcibiadesisdrastical-
Iy fame -mitten, and you feel the play itself could end with the first in-
termission were it not for the master's delicate prose.
To some thieves who wish a part of Timon's gold he states: "Why
should you want? Behold, the earth hath roots; within this mile break
forth a hundred springs: the oaks bear mast, the briars scarlet hips:
the bounteous housewife, nature, on each bush lays her full mess be-
fore you. Want? Why want?"
Remarkable of Shakespeare is the ability to apply his literature to
almost any time period, and still have it work. Timon of Athens
adopts the same 1930s frame as it did in its 1963 Stratford production,
with music originally composed by Duke Ellington adapted by Stan-
ley Silverman.
Although underwritten, the production is definitely worth a peek.
Offering a world of difference, it displays harsh contrasts throughout
life, as well as a vulnerable side of Shakespeare not often seen. Timon
of Athens runs at Stratford until September 13.
