THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
Presented by Free Shakespeare!
July 19-Aug. 12
Various
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, William Shakespeare’s most provocative play, dances with these timeless tensions in a way that makes the story seem ripped from today’s headlines. What’s at stake is a pound of flesh. But by the time the noble Portia mediates the grievance between Shylock the moneylender and Antonio the merchant, what changes is the whole way we look at the world.
