Timon, a wealthy Athenian lord, is the toast of the city. He showers his supposed friends with lavish gifts and parties. But when Timon falls on hard times and seeks their help, they cruelly abandon him. Outraged, Timon retreats from society, cursing mankind and Athens itself. As he sinks into misanthropic isolation, Timon's story becomes a powerful meditation on the fickleness of human nature and the corrosive effects of unchecked greed.
