When he calls upon his associates, instead of offering help, they hang him out to dry. After a final, vengeful banquet, Timon withdraws to a literal and emotional wasteland, living off roots and pouring curses on a morally bankrupt Athens.
Simon Russell Beale has been described by the Independent as "the greatest stage actor of his generation".
His recent work for the National Theatre includes London Assurance, Much Ado About Nothing and Collaborators, John Hodge's Olivier Award-nominated new play in which he portrayed Stalin.
The running time of the screening will be approximately three hours including introduction and a 20-minute intermission.
Timon Of Athens will be transmitted live from the National Theatre to the Strode Theatre screen on Thursday, November 1, at 7pm.
