Theatre for a New Audience, the first U.S. based theatre company to be invited to the Royal Shakespeare Company, is staging “The Merchant of Venice.” The controversial and classic play is coming off of performances Off-Broadway and in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Shylock is being played by Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham (“Amadeus,” “Scarface”) and the play is directed by Darko Tesnjak, the former Artistic Director at the Old Globe. “The New York Times” said, “Mr. Tresnjak and his superb cast allow us to see with unusual clarity the light and the dark in Shakespeare’s characters, not just the wronged but vengeful Shylock and his nemesis, the casually bigoted Antonio (Tom Nelis), but also the wise, loving Portia (Kate MacCluggage), who sees fit to test her husband’s love with unnecessary calculation, and comparatively insignificant players like the servant Launcelot Gobbo (a spirited, funny Jacob Ming-Trent).”

Direction has been plastering posters throughout the city to promote this Broadway in Chicago production.

“The Merchant of Venice” runs today until March 27 at the Bank of America Theatre. Please visit broadwayinchicago.com for tickets and more information.
