Merchant Of Venice

The best and the worst of human nature is on display in Shakespeare’s comic thriller.

Honour, love and betrayal interweave through Shakespeare’s compelling and lucid poetry. To woo Portia, Bassanio asks his friend Antonio to place himself in debt to Shylock. One problem, Shylock and Antonio are engaged in a vicious business struggle. When Antonio can not service his obligation to the userer, he is required to pay with his life.

The Young Theatre ahs gained an enviable reputation for their imaginative staging of Shakespeare’s plays - and The Merchant of Venice promises to thrill and delight, in equal measure.
