The Merchant of Venice, an exceptionally timely tale of love and laughter in the face of bigotry and close-mindedness
In a utterly unique theatrical event, the Festival brings one of Shakespeare’s most well-known and controversial plays, The Merchant of Venice, to the Yale Law School Courtyard. First staged in Venice to commemorate the establishment of the Jewish Ghetto 500 years ago, the Compagnia de' Colombari’s new production, directed by Karin Coonrod, features a cast of five multi-ethnic actors to explore Shylock’s complex humanity as a father and merchant, villain and victim.
According to Coonrod, “these five actors, all of them very different, open up the play in a way that is both Jewish and universal.”
