Description

A rather strange agreement was made between Antonio and his creditor Shylock: to give a pound of his own flesh if his debt was not repaid!<p> A powerful and moving story set in Renaissance Venice. A blend of comedy, suspense, and drama. Universal themes that resonate with us all: love, friendship, difference, the role of women in society, and, of course, the absolute power of commerce and how far it can push us.</p><p> A story, based on Shakespeare's masterpiece, with profoundly human characters, deeply rooted in their convictions. These convictions raise the fundamental question posed by The Merchant of Venice: can we evolve through events? Can we change with others?</p><p> Topics treated with laughter, suspense and vinegar, and which resonate centuries later.</p>
