dlr Mill Theatre present The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

A deal gone very wrong.

“If I can catch him once upon the hip,
I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.”

In Shakespeare’s uncompromising and problematic play, the contempt hurled at the ‘other’, festers and grows. In a world where racial prejudices, mistrust, and the engrained belief systems of two opposing traditions come to a boiling point. Revenge is the currency used to right a wrong. Mercy is in short supply.

dlr Mill Theatre bring an exciting, contemporary, and engaging abridged 90-minute production to our stage. A talented ensemble cast of 10 actors, breathe new life into the text for both students and lovers of Shakespeare alike.
