Synopsis

For many centuries, Timon has been regarded as an incomplete or troubling masterpiece little suited to the stage. The Stationer's Register for 1618 contains notice of the intention by the printer Henry Dunwich to publish "The Tragedie of Timon, or All For Gold". The inclusion in the Shakespeare Notebooks of a partial and corrupt copy of this recently discovered and anonymous 'Bad Quarto' allows us to reconstruct some of the last two acts of the play.
