Music Erran Baron Cohen·Book William Shakespeare (original play); adaptation concept by Brigid Larmour and Tracy-Ann Oberman
The Merchant of Venice 1936 is a reimagining of Shakespeare's play, transplanted to 1930s East London as fascism gathers pace and antisemitism hardens into public life. In this version, Tracy-Ann Oberman plays Shylock as a Jewish single mother trying to protect her family and business in a hostile city, while the pressures of debt, prejudice and community tension sharpen the story's conflicts.
