Widge's attempts at finishing a play begun but abandoned by Shakespeare as "putrid" capitalizes on the theory that, because it is not the equal of works written around the same time (including Hamlet and Measure for Measure), Shakespeare did not actually write Timon of Athens. O'Dair's texts are The Tempest (especially Prospero as a coercive educator), Timon of Athens and its focus on money, and Coriolanus, which expresses the aristocrat's fear of the loss of social distinctions. But as that major aesthetician Mel Brooks says, "Listen: Art has nothing to do with good taste" (the man who wrote both the sublime Lear and the godawful Timon of Athens would have agreed). |
