'Jonathan Pryce is electrifyingly good'
Time Out London
Mean-spirited and miserly? Or massively misunderstood? Tony and Olivier-winning actor Jonathan Pryce plays Shylock, one of Shakespeare's most enigmatic characters in the US Tour of this production direct from London's illustrious and historic Globe Theatre.
When the wealthy heiress Portia is faced with a multitude of suitors, she sets them a challenge in order to find the most worthy. Of course, being Venice, the subject of money is always an issue, so friends Bassanio and Antonio must find money to fund their challenge; Bassanio borrows money from Antonio, but Antonio must approach the distrusted moneylender Shylock. Their agreement is that Antonio will repay the debt upon the safe return of his ships to the city; if they are lost, then Shylock must have a pound of flesh (the origin of the term).
The ships inevitably sink, and Antonio finds himself in an awful predicament, and must somehow stave off Shylock's demands. But why is Shylock so determined to punish them? Religious intolerance towards Jews, civil society and forgiveness form the backbone themes of this charged story, with Shakespeare creating one of his most iconic, oft-misunderstood characters for the world to see.
