Parson's Nose Theater to Open 2014-15 Season With THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, 10/18
"In The Merchant of Venice, written in 1597, the young Shakespeare again performs his magic, taking elements from Italian tales and contemporary works (Marlowe's The Jew of Malta) and giving his own spin," explains PNT Artistic Director, Lance Davis. "His Christians are not merciful heroes, and his Shylock is not a greedy villain. His comedy does not end comfortably. Join us to listen to this brilliant 16th Century portrayal of justice vs. mercy. In today's darkness of world tension, a shaft of light is most welcome, isn't it?
