The most excellent historie of the Merchant of Venice
with the exxtreame cruelitie of Shylocke the Jewe
This highly entertaining adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, directed by Ukrainian-born, Jewish theater artist Igor Golyak, is a wild ride that takes a startling and tragic turn, leaving the audience stunned and unable to stop the inevitable and unbearable consequences. Starring Richard Topol as Shylock with a stellar ensemble cast, this is Shakespeare for our time — a full force experience, urgent, deeply human, and full of questions.
“This production is a dead-serious indictment of antisemitism and bigotry from a dizzyingly kaleidoscopic array of angles.” – The Boston Globe
