Estates Theater
The Merchant of Venice is Shakespeare’s great meditation on bigotry, class and revenge. Antonio, an antisemitic merchant, takes a loan from the Jew Shylock to help his friend to court Portia. Antonio can’t repay the loan, and without mercy, Shylock demands a pound of his flesh. The heiress Portia, now the wife of Antonio’s friend, dresses as a lawyer and saves Antonio.
Starring Jewish-American stage star Irwin Appel as Shylock, this production proves The Merchant of Venice is the most timely and important play of today.
Directed by PSC Artistic Director Guy Roberts and starring PSC Associate Artists Irwin Appel as Shylock, Stephan Wolfert, Karel Hermanek ml, Dawn Stern, Jefrey Smith, Jared Doreck, Frantisek Hermanek, Genevieve Gionet, Jenn Kirk, and Bob Boudreaux alongside other PSC favorites.
No interval 85 minutes long
