In a city run by greed, gripped in a Halloween chaos, what price must you pay for love? Can one hope for justice in a society without tolerance? Or is vengeance the closest the outsider can get to acceptance?
"If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge."
Set against the backdrop of modern-day working shipping docks, Antonia, is a wealthy Merchant desperately in need of funds. Her friend, Bassanio, needs a rich wife to clear his debts. Portia, a wealthy heiress, reduced to a prize for which men must gamble, appears to be the perfect solution.
Beneath the charmed surface, all are at risk and everyone needs a win. As for Shylock, the despised and alienated moneylender? Is he the answer to Antonia's prayers or will he seek revenge against the community that has never accepted but only rejected him?
And like Shakespeare we ask:
"How in an avaricious society can truth and justice be achieved if there is no love?"
