😍 “Igor Golyak’s brilliant, bold version of ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is not a revival. Nor is it an adaptation. Rather, it’s a sharply satirical study of why and how we adapt the classics for the contemporary theater. Madcap entertainment!”

Theater review by Carol Rocamora. This brilliant version of Shakespeare’s classic will shock and shake you to the core.

“Four Stars! Director Igor Golyak has created a Merchant of Venice reflective of our modern time: busy, entertaining, titillating, flippant, with the sense-of-it-all just below the surface. This adaptation is both entertaining and poignant in its morality.”
