My overall impression
Excellent music, direction, performances. It was the best (and certainly the most efficient) adaptation of Merchant I’ve seen. Everything worked in the modernization of this piece; nothing was a stretch. Comedy next to cruelty; love, loyalty, and friendship next to bigotry and intolerance: it was executed perfectly, with nothing forced and all believable. Well done!
