Shylock

Book Review: “Shylock Is My Name” — And the Problem Remains

Despite this, he is vexed by how the play draws out the anti-Semitism of English audiences

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Books, Featured, Theater Tagged: Hogarth Shakespeare, Howard Jacobson, Jonathan Wilson, Shylock, Shylock is My Name, Stephen Greenblatt, The Merchant of Venice, William-Shakespeare

Coming Attractions in Theater: March 2011

An exciting month, and that isn’t hyperbole. A couple of North American premieres: a futuristic opera from MIT’s Tod Machover and poet Robert Pinsky and a drama tweaking The New Testament from Howard Brenton. Toss in iconic director Peter Brook staging Beckett, F. Murray Abraham as Shylock, and Car Talk:The Musical and you are talking about taking out the smelling salts
