Timon of Athens Audiobook (Free)

This controversial play follows the declining fortunes of a man of extravagant contradictions.

The fabulously rich Timon feels all his friends to become as open-hearted and generous as himself. When his prosperity suddenly evaporates, however, he discovers the truth and his altruism transforms to a bitter hatred of mankind. Stirred up from the cynical Apemantus, Timon retreats to the woods where he plots the destruction of Athens, the city that had previously seemed to embody everything enjoyable and civilized. The cosmic range of his hatred can be communicated in a series of powerful and disturbing dramatic tableaux.

Alan Howard is Timon and Norman Rodway is Apemantus. Damian Lewis play Alcibiades.
