Sean Tarrant

TIMON
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE
2005


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."

Irvine 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."

New University, UC Irvine

 

"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."
