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
