The Merchant of Venice Controversial & Thought Provoking | Theater Review

“The Merchant of Venice” is presented by Invictus Theatre Company in the words of William Shakespeare but with more contemporary staging.

Anyone who watches Judge Judy knows that lending your deadbeat friend money that you don’t have then agreeing to put the cost on your credit card in hopes that he’ll repay you when his tax refund comes in or whatever usually leads to trouble.

The Merchant of Venice is presented by Invictus Theatre Company at The Buena Theater in the Pride Arts Center, 4147 N Broadway, Chicago, IL through November 17, 2019. For tickets and information visit invictustheatreco.com.

Note: We regret that in the podcast review we mentioned Joshua Seeger as The Duke (who also did a fine job) when we meant Jack Morosoville as Aaragon. Morosoville was also the composer of the of the music included in this production.
