My overall impression
Speed Merchant (of Venice) is a thoughtfully directed, well-cast and passionately performed production. Accomplished Shakespearean director/adaptor Tiger Reel nails it again this time with a focused, modernized production that both stays true to the source material while finessing Merchant’s difficult anti-semitic elements to be more palatable and less black and white. Don’t miss it!
