Welcome back to the 208th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 208th episode we bring you a Duet Review of Timon of Athens, adapted by James Llewellyn Evans, directed by Max Ackerman, and produced by William Shakespeare & Friends Collective with support of Dandelion Theatre. Join Jillian Robinson and special guest Alicia Plummer as they discuss the power of bookended movement, debate the insertion of contemporary text, and decipher when we invest and when we observe.
Timon of Athens is playing at The Theatre Center in The BMO Incubator (1115 Queen St. W., Toronto, ON) until November 17th, 2024. Tickets can be purchased from the following link: https://theatrecentre.org/tickets/?eid=139378
This review contains many SPOILERS for Timon of Athens. It will begin with a general non-spoiler review until the {10:52} mark, followed by a more in-depth/anything goes/spoiler-rich discussion. If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.
