Shakespeare’s complex exploration of prejudice, patriarchy and capitalism
Overview
In a society that exploits minorities to keep the majority in power, identity is everything.
When ostracised Jewish moneylender, Shylock, chases a debt he is rightfully owed, it exposes the fault lines of a culture built on religious and moral hypocrisy.
Director Abigail Graham brings together the personal and political in this re-imagining of Shylock’s play.
