IF YOU TICKLE US, DO WE NOT LAUGH?
The
Merchant of Venice
You
won’t have to give a pound of flesh to view
this classic Shakespeare play, which will be performed
at The Duke on 42nd Street. Running through March
11, 2007, The Merchant of Venice explores still-relevant
themes of clashing cultures and the price of love.
All bets are on that F. Murray Abraham, who won an
Academy Award for his portrayal of the deliciously
devilish Salieri in “Amadeus,” will garner
much attention as Shylock, the misunderstood Jewish
money lender.
When: Through March 11, 2007, Tuesday-Sunday.
Where: The Duke on 42nd Street, 229 W. 42nd St., New York.
Admission: $65
for Tuesday-Thursday, $69 Friday-Sunday.
Information: 212-229-2819, duke.new42.org.

York What's Going On page.
