Chicago Shakespeare Theater "Timon of Athens" - 4 Tickets with Backstage Tour

Is anyone capable of resisting the seductive power of wealth? In a high-risk world of quick profits and borrowed luxury, Timon is a god among men. But when the tides of monetary fortune turn, and his former friends become ruthless creditors, Timon is left in financial freefall. CST Artistic Director Barbara Gaines is renowned for her penetrating, thoroughly original and theatrical approach to Shakespeare. Leading the cast of Shakespeare's dizzyingly dark satire is internationally celebrated actor, Tony Award winner Ian McDiarmid. From his performances with the Royal Shakespeare Company and on Broadway, to a turn as Senator Palpatine, who becomes Darth Sidius, in theStar Warsfilm series, McDiarmid is brilliantly matched to the challenging role of Timon as he descends into misanthropy. See "Timon of Athens" (April 24-June 10, 2012) with these four tickets and receive a backstage tour following the play. Value of tickets: $300; Value of backstage tour: Priceless
