Next Up - The Merchant of Venice This spring, Theatre Banshee brings to the stage Shakespeare's most delightful and disturbing comedy, The Merchant of Venice. In this tangled tale of frienship and romance, Antonio borrows money to help his friend and secures the loan with a pound of his own flesh as collateral. Will true love win out, or will the Shylock the Jew come, knife in hand, to claim his pount of flesh? Flagrant racism and anti-semitism mix uncomfortably with honor, friendship and love in a play that defies categorization. Funny, horrifying, charming and unsettling, Merchant's got it all. See why The Merchant of Venice has remained one of Shakespeare's most popular — and controversial — plays for more than four centuries. The Merchant of Venice opens March 24 and runs through May 6.
