Timon of Athens and Our Modern Financial World

Timon of Athens is Shakespeare’s most explicit tragic take on the role of money.

Its importance for modern capitalism is evidenced by the fact that it is one of Shakespeare's plays that Karl Marx explicitly references in his writings. Predictably, it has received increased attention in scholarship and has witnessed a rising number of stage performances in recent years in the wake of global financial crises.

Michael Johnson (Actor, Director, Educator) and Montgomery Sutton (Rude Grooms, This Wooden O Podcast) are welcomed by our host, Jenni Stewart (Artistic Associate) in a discussion on money, reality, trust, and economic symbols. Readings from the script performed by Shawn Gann.
