Dubious casting? Methinks not. Portia, the witty chameleon; her suitor Bassanio, who’s indebted to his besty, Antonio; the merchant and debtor of Shylock who is...well...played by the director who’s out to upstage his brother Trevor—what could possibly go wrong? This program profiles Shakespeare’s complex characters in The Merchant of Venice in a way that students will find quirky and engaging.
