Fools & Kings Project Presents TIMON OF ATHENS

The Fools & Kings Project will present the rarely-done classic, Timon of Athens, by William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton, opening this weekend. The unique opportunity to see this exciting ensemble production will only run for eight performances, May 3-19th. Timon of Athens is directed by David GR Brummer and Conor D Mullen. The six-person cast features Robert Bradvica, David Federman, Will Lippman, Malinda Logan, Rachel Weekley, and Madeleine Emerick as Timon.
