And wouldn’t you know it... digging in the dirt for a scrap of food... finds more wealth than he had before, just lying there under the earth in a barren field. What will he do with it this time, being generous never paid off, so what’s the opposite??

Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens is a black comedy dressed up as a Greek tragedy, a hilariously dark, joyfully brutal and very modern immorality tale. Dicken’s borrowed from it, Marx built a new world order out of it, our contemporary age sits squarely in its sights - and it gives you, the playgoer, an extraordinary opportunity...

... to watch a Shakespeare play where you don’t know what happens next, have no idea how it ends, and will be surprised at every turn.

Directed by Margaret Thanos and described as “a new star in the firmament of the best Shakespeare productions” (SMH), I Hate People; or Timon of Athens is a truly unique theatrical experience. A renaissance play that feels like it was written yesterday and tells us so much about today.
