Never performed in Shakespeare's lifetime, Timon of Athens presents
an intriguing puzzle for contemporary audiences. The disjointed
plot and many gaps in the story have led scholars to believe it was
a collaboration between Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton, a younger
writer known for his satires, and productions for decades have
faced choices about the most effective way to present the play. In
this translation, Cavander acts as a third playwright in this
collaborative process. Wrangling the voices of Shakespeare and
Middleton on the page, Cavander unveils poetic lines and phrases
that have sat stubbornly in the cobwebs, cutting these voices
through the time barrier and into the world as we know it. This
translation was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of
thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work
of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while
never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. These volumes make
these works available for the first time in print-a new First Folio
for a new era.
