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. The play examines religious and racial intolerance, the history of
plays in performance and, above all, celebrates the richness of Shakespeare’s
language.
Gareth, who has played leading roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company,
in the West End and at Shakespeare’s Globe, first performed Shylock at the 1997
Edinburgh Fringe, receiving astonishing reviews in the national press and 5
Stars from the Festival critics.
Over the following 10 years Shylock won awards touring all over the
world from Stratford-upon-Avon to off-Broadway.
“Armstrong is nothing short of incredible…It
is an exceptional piece of theatre. Everyone should see it.”
The
Independent on Sunday
“It’s all fascinating, a nimble analysis of the thorny, much-abused
character and the great, troublesome play.”
The
Washington Post.
