The BCS is delighted to promote member Susan Maces exciting production of Shakespeares Timon of Athens,which opened at the Teatro Maison de France last weekend. We carried an in-depth interview with Susan inOctobers edition of The Umbrella, and the production was splashed all over O Globo, too. Its quite the happening inthe busy world of Rio theatre. Make sure you are part of the scene, as tickets are in hot demand.Londons Evening Standard called the adaptation by the National Theatres Nick Hytner and Ben Power a lacerating

parable of our times. Its a powerful riches-to-rags story, in which the title character personifies the foolishness ofill-judged extremes. He moves from compulsive and foolish generosity to bitter disappointment. As Susan explains:The fact that it is setin the contemporary world whilst maintaining its Shakespearean text, cut and re-arranged butotherwise intact, provides a special flavour to the production. Partly sponsored under the cultural incentive Lei Rouanet by Eletrobras and IRB, 20 actors play 27 parts. BruceGomlevsky directs. Topping the bill is the immensely powerful Vera Holtz playing Timon, in a daring, moderngender blind mode. Another key figure in the production is Barbara Heliodora, foremost translator of Shakespeareinto Portuguese, who has coached the cast in the ways of the word.Break a leg! is what we say to Susan Mace, long-standing BCS member and supporter, and to her company,Cultural Embassy Brasil. Never one to follow a script, Susan actually broke her arm in the lead-up.This is the first National Theatres production on these carioca shores. In our money-minded world, wed have to addthat Shakespeare is one of Britains most enduring and penetrating exports. Can YOU think of a better way to say

Feliz Aniversrio to our very own Bard? He may be 450 years old, but hes getting younger all the time.
