Hamlet Isn't Dead Mounts THE MERCHANT OF VENICE as Musical Adventure

By:

Hamlet Isn't Dead presents The Merchant of Venice, directed by Artistic Director David Andrew Laws.

"Love Conquers All" is this holiday season's headline, as music and adventure take to the stage. This clever production of one of Shakespeare's most problematic plays highlights the strength of love -- romantic and familial, old and new. Watch as these young lovers overcome the boundaries of religion, tradition, and the constraints of gender in their quests for true love. With live music and a heartfelt message, this is a thrilling classic the whole family can enjoy.

Press Nights/Previews: Tonight, December 8th @ 8pm and Friday, December 9th @ 8pm. Performances: Wednesday, December 14th @ 8pm; Thursday, December 15th @ 8pm; Friday, December 16th @ 8pm; and Saturday, December 17th @ 2pm & 8pm. To purchase tickets, CLICK HERE or visit hamletisntdead.com.

Hamlet Isn't Dead's mainstage mission is to produce the complete canon of William Shakespeare in chronological order. In this vein, we are able to explore Shakespeare as a developing artist, and examine his plays as if they were new works. The Merchant of Venice comes in at number thirteen -- sandwiched between A Midsummer Night's Dream and Henry IV Part 1.
