This is a minor Shakespearian tragedy about greed, politics, power, and polarization. I liked this play better than many of his minor works, probably due to the timely themes.

I'm amazed this hasn't been adapted to the big screen more often.

I can't give Shakespeare less than 3 stars, but it makes sense that this isn't his most popular work.

One of Shakespeare’s greatest controversies because I think you either love this or hate it. Personally, I loved it. Timon is kinda a dream role for me.

This tragedy dwells upon the meaning of money and friendships, but the language didn't really grab me. This Zoom production brings it to life pretty well.

نمی‌دونم از بس تعریف شده بود ازش، از حد انتظارم پایین‌تر بود و یا چونکه قبلاً تو یه نمایشنامه که اقتباسی مدرن از این نمایشنامه بود نقش کوچیکی رو بازی کرده بودم و خیلی با این نمایشنامه تفاوت داشت، به دلم ننشست.
به هر حال به نظرم داستانش لاغر بود و به خوبی بقیه نمایشنامه‌های شکسپیر بسط و گسترش نداشت.

The one Shakespeare play I actively disliked, and I'm relieved to find that other reviewers also found it incoherent and dawdling.
