One of my favourite writers of all time is the legendary William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is probably one of the most noted writers in the history of English Literature. Certainly he is the most significant playwright of the English Renaissance. He has contributed many great literary works and one of these is called, "Timon Of Athens". "Timon Of Athens" is set in ancient Greece. The first act occurs in Timon's residential home. In the reception room of Timon's house a poet, a painter, a jeweller, and a merchant enter. Everyone of them have brought Timon an object that they hope Timon will purchase. Timon enters the room, with many people gathering around him looking for his advice or approval. One of these people is a person who has been sent from Timon's friend Ventidius to give Timon a message. When Timon learns that Ventidius has been ...

Review of Timon of Athens - William Shakespeare

Dine like a Duke

Advantages: Cracking food and a good price - for a pub!
Disadvantages: A bit small for buggies, awkward downstairs toilet access.

stairs and although I can't speak for the gents I imagine they'd be the same as the ladies so please, watch your head as the ceiling is so low in the toilet cubicles that if you happen to be 5ft 6" (like me) and get up too fast, you could end up concussing yourself on the arched ceiling. Having said that, the two cubicles themselves are always spotlessly clean, the basin has L'Occitaine handwash and hand cream and they also have one of those rather zippy Dyson Blade hand dryers plus a fair sized mirror for general hair and facial faffage. ~Recommended?~ If you are in the neighbourhood then yes, although there are lots of eateries in SJW if you can get into The Duke then I'd say go there. Its food that feeds you and not just food that fills you up. www.thedukeofyork.com 2 St Anne's Terrace St Johns Wood NW8 6PJ T) 0207 722 ...

Review of The Duke of York

'What viler thing upon the earth than friends'

Advantages: First half isn't bad
Disadvantages: Second half very dull

This is a BAD play. It has its interesting moments, but it is nevertheless excessively BAD. In fact, it is probably one of the BADDEST plays that Shakey ever wrote. However, puttinmg its BADNESS aside for a moment, let us quickly summarise that plot: QUICK SUMMARY OF PLOT Timon is one of the citizens of Athens. He is a generous chappy, who likes throwing parties and enjoys being told what a sound bloke he is. He often lends cash to many of his friends who have got into a bit of financial trouble, but then is unwilling to ask for the money back. In due course, Timon's money runs out and he turns to his friends for help, but each one of them refuses him. In his rage, Timon turns his back on humanity and goes to live in a cave in the woods. There, he is visited by various Athenians who want money, or Timon's help against an army ...
