“By my soul, I swear, there is no power in the tongue of man to alter me."
REVIEWS
"The Merchant of Venice is a story of prejudice, social injustice, money and love. When a merchant must default on a large loan from a Jewish moneylender for a friend with romantic ambitions, the fiercely unforgiving creditor demands a grim payment instead. Starring one of Canada’s most renowned stage actors Seana Mckenna as Shylock and under the deft direction of one of America’s most powerful, innovative leaders, Carey Perloff."
"Joint production of The Merchant of Venice draws big names to Calgary"
