This highly entertaining adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, directed by Ukrainian-born, Jewish theater artist Igor Golyak, is a wild ride that takes a startling and tragic turn, leaving the audience stunned and unable to stop the inevitable and unbearable consequences. Starring Richard Topol as Shylock with a stellar ensemble cast, this is Shakespeare for our time—a full force experience, urgent, deeply human and full of questions.

Part of Arlekin in Residency at Classic Stage Company, presented by MART Foundation in association with Jadow Productions.
