ABOUT THE SHOW
Venice...a city of love and, more importantly, commerce. The young Bassanio is desperate to wed the beautiful heiress, Portia, but doesn't have the funds. Antonio, an antisemitic merchant, decides to help his friend, Bassanio, by taking out a loan from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender.
When Antonio defaults on his loan, Shylock demands a pound of Antonio's flesh as per their agreement. The case is taken to court where Portia, disguised as a lawyer, attempts to save Antonio from a grisly fate.
This play is a complex exploration of prejudice, revenge, and the nature of justice and mercy.
We all pay our pound of flesh...one way or another.
