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

Very well done and enjoyable. At 70 minutes it was maybe a bit too long for young children, but my child (age 3) had a lot of fun.Written on Aug 29 2011

Very nice show. We sat 2nd row stage right. Further back in front may have been better to see all the action.....There is no intermission but the length of the show was great for a 3yo. We watched a pinocchio movie before going so my son had idea of the story.Written on Jul 25 2011

Description
Music and lyrics by Neil Bartram
Book by Brian Hill
Directed by Rachel Rockwell
The traditional Italian story of a wooden puppet yearning to be a real boy springs to life with inventive and awe-inspiring puppetry, transforming CST's Courtyard Theater into a larger-than-life, European marionette stage. Carved out of wood by the lonely toymaker Geppetto, Pinocchio tumbles from one disastrous situation to another in search of adventure—only to discover that, in the end, all he really needs is an unselfish heart and the love of his father. Based on Carlo Collodi's classic tale, this world premiere CST Family musical illuminates the bond between parents and children in a magical performance that is sure to enchant audiences of all ages!
