Merchant
of Venice
by William Shakespeare
directed by Linda Johnson
August 22 - 31
If you prick us,
do we not bleed? |
Synopsis
Merchant of Venice
portrays Shakespeare's 16th century world contrasting the
aristocratic and romantic world of Belmont in which people risk
everything for love and the mercantile world of Venice, the most
powerful and liberal city state in Europe where people risk
everything for profit; a world where male friendships encompass
a wide range of feelings and loyalties and where men and women
marry for romantic love; where greed and prejudice breed hatred,
self-righteousness leads to revenge and uncompromising justice
results in man's downfall.
Shakespeare began writing a
comedy but ended up creating Shylock, one of his first real
tragic characters, turning Merchant of Venice into a
tragicomedy.
