About Shakespeare for White Trash -27- Timon of Athens
Canadian author Crad Kilodney created the “Shakespeare For White Trash” series to make Shakespeare understandable and enjoyable to the many millions of people living now who have little or no knowledge of Shakespeare, and to prove to them that the stories contained in Shakespeare's plays are superb. The plots and characters are unchanged, but everything else has been radically restyled. Read Crad's versions and you will become a Shakespeare fan. Enjoy!<br><br>Kilodney originally posted his versions on Wordpress.com from 2010 to shortly before his death in 2014. It was the first time that all 38 of Shakespeare’s plays had been rewritten by one author and published in one place. They are re-packaged here to increase the likelyhood of people, like you, finding them. <br><br>Mr. Kilodney hoped acting companies would be encouraged to stage these plays more often.<br><br><i><b>Gist of the story:</b></i> Timon is a rich lord of Athens, whose generosity is out of control. He realizes too<br>late that he is broke and deeply in debt. But when he seeks help from his flattering friends who<br>benefited from his generosity, they all turn him down. He is so unhinged by this betrayal that he leaves<br>Athens and goes to live in a cave. He is down on the whole human race. In a subplot, Alcibiades, a<br>young captain and friend of Timon, gets into an argument with some senators and gets himself<br>banished. Timon discovers gold on the land where he is living and decides it is only good for<br>corrupting others. He gives some to Alcibiades and urges him to destroy Athens. Alcibiades is out for<br>revenge against the senate but doesn’t want to kill everyone. When he threatens to attack Athens, the<br>senators try to make peace with Timon and Alcibiades. Timon rejects them and predicts his own death.<br>When Alcibiades sends a soldier to him, he learns Timon has died. The senators express remorse for<br>the mistreatment of both Timon and Alcibiades and beg Alcibiades to take revenge only on the guilty.<br>Alcibiades agrees.<br>(Timon of Athens was never finished. Shakespeare left us what appears to be a first draft. Also, a<br>second writer almost certainly wrote parts of it. For scholars it is a textual headache, and for our non-<br>literary audience it would be an impossible read. The play was apparently never performed in<br>Shakespeare’s lifetime and perhaps has never been performed as it was originally written. Other<br>writers have “finished” it for the purpose of stage performance. But even so, it has had a very limited<br>performance history. The only historical figure is Alcibiades, who was a prominent general in the<br>Peloponnesian War [431 – 404 B.C.], but his appearance in the play is not based on historical events.<br>Shakespeare probably liked him and decided he was a suitable character to punish a decadent Athens.<br>Shakespeare doesn’t tell us how Timon died or who buried him, which is proof enough that the play<br>was never finished. I have tweaked the ending to deal with this. Despite its difficulties, Timon of<br>Athens has a good story that our non-literary audience will like. Our intention has been to give it a<br>modern restyling and thereby to bring this obscure play out of the shadows and let it shine for a new<br>generation of admirers. This is the first modernized version of Timon of Athens ever published.)<br><br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>
