Despite being fancy theater critics, neither of us had ever seen Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens. So when we heard that The Cutting Ball Theater was doing a production of “ one of Shakespeare’s neglected classics, featuring some of the Bard’s more experimental verse paired with some of his best poetry ” we knew we had to see it. So off we headed to the TL for a night of Drama Talk & Drinks.

Brittany: I don’t know Timon of Athens well, so it was fun to see it performed. There were some really amazing monologues and great Shakespeare insults in there. I thought chateau gonflable the actor who played Timon (Brennan Pickman-Thoon) was really impressive. I also enjoyed Apemantus (David Sinaiko) and Flavius (Courtney Walsh), they both had such a strong command of the language.
