Shakespeare's dark story of religion, race, and prejudice has caused controversy wherever it has been presented. Bassanio, a young man about town, is determined to woo the wealthy heiress Portia, but in order to finance his quest he needs three thousand ducats. He asks his friend Antonio, a rich merchant, for the money, who in turn borrows it from Shylock, a wealthy Jewish moneylender. The scales of justice and the bonds of family, friendship, and love are tested in a world of deception, faithlessness, and treachery. Set at the rise of Mussolini's Italy, this production will feature the performance of Artistic Director Jared Sakren in the role of Shylock, his first performance for the company.
