Shylock

Explore the tragic, funny and often unbelievable life of fiction’s most famous Jew in this acclaimed theatre production that has toured over 50 countries.
Written and performed by Gareth Armstrong, and directed by Frank Barrie, this is a play which explores the world of Shakespeare’s most controversial character, Shylock from the Merchant of Venice.
Shylock. A villain? A victim? Or something even more intriguing? Gareth Armstrong’s award-winning play confronts and confounds the stereotypes through the eyes of Shylock’s only friend – and the only other Jewish man in all of Shakespeare – Tubal.
Promoted to centre stage from his minor role in The Merchant of Venice, he proves a born comic storyteller. Celebrating the richness of Shakespeare’s language and conjuring up a whole cast of characters, this dazzling, moving, often hilarious play is a fascinating exploration of Shylock and his people.
