About

Ambition, power and political unrest explode onto the stage in The Merchant of Venice 1936, direct from the RSC. Starring Tracy-Ann Oberman (Fiddler on the Roof 2017, EastEnders,
Doctor Who) as Shylock, Shakespeare's classic is transported to 1930s Britain in this unforgettable, electrifying new production from director Brigid Larmour.

Tensions in London's East End are rising and Shylock, a resilient single mother and hard-working businesswoman, is desperate to protect her daughter's future. When the
charismatic merchant Antonio comes to her for a loan, a high‑stakes deal is struck. Will Shylock take her revenge, and who will pay the ultimate price?
