Timon's Daughter is a short, sharp and vicious satire on modern celebrity charity. Cannon's blackly funny play exposes the hypocrisies and cynicism of the "giving industry". It stars Sophie Webb and Adam Kennedy and is directed by Mark Pritchard.
The story follows what happens to teenage Alice (Webb) when she's abandoned by her bankrupt philanthropist father and taken in by his accountant, Alan (Kennedy). Their relationship transforms from one of generosity and gratitude to manipulation and resentment as the true power relations of charity are exposed.
