As You Mic It

Prologue - Timon of Athens


Listen Later

Get primed for Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival’s 2025 Undiscovered Countries Season with our Prologue mini-episodes. In this installment, Director of Education and Community Engagement, Kim Carson unpacks Timon of Athens, Shakespeare’s biting exploration of friendship, generosity, and betrayal. As part of our Extreme Shakespeare series, this production leans into original practices: no director, no designers, just a fearless ensemble of actors diving headfirst into the text. It’s raw, fast, and deeply human. It's an unpredictable journey into the heart of generosity and the cost of betrayal.
