Overview

Director Abigail Graham’s contemporary take on The Merchant of Venice shows Shakespeare’s disturbing tale in a new light. Shylock (Adrian Schiller) and Jessica (Eleanor Wyld) reclaim their stories in Shakespeare's Globe's ‘heart-wrenching’ (The Guardian) 2021 production, played by candlelight and filmed live in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
