Performed by the newly formed Lock and Key Theatre, Timon of Athens is renowned as one of Shakespeare and Middleton’s most challenging plays. Director Alice Langley’s production is set in modern day London, with themes such as losing wealth, poverty and the fickleness of money. The play is certainly relevant to modern day issues, so the idea of it being contemporised appealed to me. However I felt that Langley made some strange decisions when it came to the stylising of characters which completely clashed with the idea of the production being modernised.
