Merchant on Venice

Playwright Shishir Kurup transplants the themes of Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice to modern-day Venice Boulevard, with Hindu, Muslim and Latino influences pervading the SoCal setting. Rasaka Theatre Company and Vitalist Theatre team for this revival of Kurup’s play, first produced in 2007 by Silk Road Rising, where it was named one of Time Out Chicago’s 10 best productions of the year.
