"The Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare (May 11 – June 3, 2012) Passion, betrayal, and a bargain with a terrible price. In one of the Bard's most controversial and thrilling plays, Antonio covers a debt for his friend Bassanio, from the complicated and persecuted Shylock—who has much reason to resent Antonio. Across lines of race and wrongdoing, Antonio must face a terrible fate, while Bassanio finds true love in the arms of the delightful Portia. Watch what happens as events culminate in a cross-dressing courtroom battle in The Merchant of Venice.
