AT THE Barry Memo Arts Centre on October 1 and 2 they will host the fantastic production of Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare.
The show, directed by Derek Cobley, is a story of prejudice and revenge, love and money. It’s a fast-moving, exciting, accessible production of this ever popular play. With a full cast, this tale will fill the stage with love, hatred, greed and revenge.
Prejudice against the alien was rife in Elizabethan England and has festered ever since. The production finds a modern context for the prejudice and hate that underlies the central drama of the play.
Don’t miss out on this brilliant opportunity to experience the thrill of Shakespeare’s words in one of Shakespeare’s most frequently performed plays, where the complexity of characters such as Portia, Antonio and Shylock continue to intrigue actors, critics, and audiences alike as one of the stages most famous stories unfolds.
Tickets to this incredible show cost £10 for adults and £8 for concessions. The performance on Wednesday, October 1 will take place at 7.30pm and on Thursday 2 at 12.30pm.
