Bassanio - THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
City Lights Theater Company
by William Shakespeare

March 22 - April 22, 2018
Poised somewhere between drama and comedy, Merchant balances precariously on the edge where the light and dark of humanity meet, and reflects the emotional turmoil of Shakespeare’s time, aspects of which eerily suggest the troubles that roil America today. With some of the most famous speeches and scenes in the Shakespearean canon, the work still challenges and fascinates audiences.
