 Special In House Performances
William Shakespeare's
The Merchant of Venice
Adapted and Directed
by Rebecca Greene Udden
Main Street Theater brings one of Shakespeare's masterpieces to life in this compelling, contemporary version of The Merchant of Venice. Locked away within a chest is Portia's picture - and the suitor who can choose the right chest gains Portia as his bride. To finance his wooing of Portia, Bassanio must borrow money - and when the loan cannot be repaid, Shylock seeks his revenge on those who have scorned him. Part of the National Endowment for the Arts Shakespeare for a New Generation initiative, this touring version of The Merchant of Venice will capture the attention of young adults with the "trial of the century." Running time 1 hour and 30 minutes.
