Chicago Shakespeare Theatre presents the finale of its 25th anniversary season, Shakespeare's rarely produced Timon of Athens. Directed by CST Artistic Director, Barbara Gaines, this production is set in the world of high-risk futures trading, where Timon is king of the hill, until a reversal of fortune sends him into financial free fall and his formers friends become ruthless creditors. Timon is played by internationally-acclaimed actor Ian McDiarmid, who won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play for his performance as Teddy in Brian Friel's Faith Healer. He is perhaps most famous for his chilling performance as the Emperor in George Lucas's 1983 film Return of the Jedi, and later as Senator Palpatine in the Star Wars prequels. Learn More

I absolutely loved the play. The lead characters were beyond fabulous (as were the supporting characters). My only frustration is that while we were in the front row (the main floor has about 5-10 rows, depending on area in the theater) we generally had a good view of the back of the characters for most of the play. I suspect we got those seats because they were goldstar tickets. The main part of the stage where they were doing many of their scenes is set up to protrude from the regular stage, making for "horseshoe seating." We were sat at the top of the horseshoe, therefore looking at much of the main characters backs or sides for much of the show.Written on Oct 06 2008
I guess to be expected with discounted seats. I just wish the seating in the theater was set up differently for all who get to go to see it in all it's glory! Still fabulous, and definitely recommend!

This is a great story, and this production is wonderful, but.... I think the film version is so good that the play seemed a bit pale in comparison.Written on Sep 15 2008

More Information About Amadeus
Description
Amadeus
A play by Peter Shaffer
Directed by Gary Griffin
In this award-winning drama, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s genius is seen through the jealous eyes of his rival, Viennese court composer Antonio Salieri. Believing that God has bestowed brilliance on an unmannered fool, Salieri exacts revenge—attempting to destroy what he cannot create himself. The Broadway production garnered seven Tony Awards including Best Play, and was transformed into an Oscar-winning film.
