FREE Outdoor Shakespeare returns to Lakewood Park June 20

[Brian Pedaci]

The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival presents the rarely-performed gem THE LIFE OF TIMON OF ATHENS in Lakewood Park on June 20 at 7pm. Admission is free of charge (though donations are gratefully accepted after the show).

Timon was the most admired man on campus — and generous to a fault. Betrayed by his friends, he abandons civilization and goes “back-to-the-land”. As unrest grows in Athens, both sides appeal for his help. Set at a certain state university in 1970 against a backdrop of unpopular war and student unrest, “The Life of Timon of Athens” is a hilarious history of hip hypocrisy.

Please bring a chair or blanket.

IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER, we'll move the performance to the Masonic Temple at 15300 Detroit Ave.

If you can't make Saturday's show, consider joining us tonight as we play Cahoon Park in Bay Village, or Sunday at LCCC in Elyria.
