I Hate People; or Timon of Athens

After a sold-out season, Timon of Athens returns at the Seymour Centre in June 2025.

If you missed this five-star triumph the first time around, your second chance has arrived. Directed by rising star Margaret Thanos, described as “a new star in the firmament of the best Shakespeare productions” (SMH), and led by a powerhouse performance from Damien Ryan, this is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen it – raw, sharp and electrifying.

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 which gives you, the playgoer, an extraordinary opportunity to watch a Shakespeare play where you don’t know what happens next, and have no idea how it ends.
