The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare.
A modern day retelling was put on at the Almedia Theatre in Angel, London in 2014. Directed by Rupert Goold.
"In a faraway palace, a wealthy heiress is looking for a husband. Back at home, a wealthy merchant is looking for a loan. Everyone’s out to make a killing; but everything comes at a price. Explosively relocated to Las Vegas, Shakespeare’s most controversial play makes its Almeida debut in a whirlwind of glitter, gambling and greenbacks."
