Merchant of Venice

Set in Venice, the story follows Antonio, Bassanio, Portia, and the moneylender Shylock as lives become entangled in a dangerous bond demanding a pound of flesh. Rich in wit, tension, and unforgettable courtroom drama, the play explores mercy, prejudice, friendship, love, and the complexities of justice.
