TIMON
(OF ATHENS)
UC
Irvine –
May 2005
An
adaptation of Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens
Review
Excerpts
“Cohen’s
production offers a soul-searing experience for 21st century
audiences… Shattering power [from a] magnificent performance
of Sean Tarrant as Timon ….” Daily Pilot
“Cohen’s concisely staged and streamlined adaptation
plays so smoothly that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where
the Bard’s original ends and Cohen’s handiwork begins….
The trajectory of Timon’s downfall (an incredible Sean
Tarrant, acting with vast range), as well as the nagging feeling
that it could happen to any of us, moves the piece forcefully
to its electrifying ending.” OC Weekly
“A first-rate production… as timely today as it
was 400 years ago. Tarrant… is nothing short of amazing.”
