Sean Tarrant as Timon
with Quinn VanAntwerp and Nika Obydzinski as the bandits in the Robert Cohen
directed production of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, UC Irvine,
2005. |

"... an incredible
Sean Tarrant, acting with vast range ..."
OC Weekly

|
| "In
[Robert Cohen's] production ... there is a shattering power, most of it
emanating from the actor in the title role ... That
the UCI production succeeds so powerfully as it does is due in huge measure
to the magnificent performance of Sean Tarrant as Timon."
Daily
Pilot, Newport Beach |
| "Any
production of Timon rises or falls due to the star. In this case, Tarrant
rises to the challenge. On stage almost continuously, whether in the foreground
or in hiding, he paints his character in larger-than-life, starkly contrasting
colors. For much of the first act, his Timon is almost childlike and completely
clueless and naive. In the second, he is hostile, vengeful, hating and
hateful - but not above being momentarily softened by the genuine feelings
of friendship and loyalty from Flavia. To pour so much energy into a character
virtually nonstop for nearly three hours is nothing short of amazing."

World News |
| "Tarrant
gives a riveting and impressive performance, displaying both the beloved,
jolly and generous Timon as well as the angry and disillusioned Timon
to the utmost brilliance."

"For these
my present friends,
as they are to me nothing,
so in nothing bless them,
and to nothing are they welcome.
Uncover, dogs, and
lap."
