The Merchant of Venice Revival 2010 - Articles Page 2

Tony, Emmy, Golden Globe and Academy Award winner Al Pacino and Tony Award winning director Daniel Sullivan reunite to bring the Public Theater's critically acclaimed production of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice to Broadway following a sold-out run in Central Park.



Pacino and Sullivan expertly tackle one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays, offering modern audiences a new, shattering take on this rarely performed play.



The must-see event runs for only 78 performances! Don't miss this legendary production that the Wall Street Journal declared "cries out to be seen by everyone with a passion for truly great theater. The best Merchant I have ever seen!"



Due to a film commitment in Mr. Pacino's schedule, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE went on hiatus following the performance on Sunday, January 9 (when it was originally scheduled to close) and resumed performances on Tuesday, February 1 for an additional three week run through Sunday, February 20.
