Timon of Athens

1605-1606
Shakespeare
Timon of Athens
D

For some reason reading this, I kept thinking of the folktale The Little Red Hen.  I guess it was the whole "I've spoiled you ungrateful bastards and now you won't help me in my hour of need" thing, although Timon serves the gang water and stones rather than refuses to share the bread.  But it's hard to care about Timon or his "friends," and there are no memorable lines.
