About the Show
In Shylock, Shakespeare created a notorious yet surprisingly sympathetic villain confronting the anti-Semitism of his time. As the controversial moneylender demands his pound of flesh, The Merchant of Venice explores the issues of prejudice, intolerance, faith and personal identity – themes that still resonate today.
