Synopsis
Whether youve encountered his celebrated verse-dramas (such as Whylah Falls or Qubcit) or the lush, animated language of his poetry, it is not difficult to recognize George Elliott Clarkes affinity for the genius of William Shakespeare. In this new work, Clarke borrows brazenly from and rewrites (The Bards very own working method) one of Shakespeares most contentious comedies, The Merchant of Venice, reinvigorating a play that on many points seems retrograde politically and retarding dramatically. The result is a spectacle of swinging lyricism that casts Jewish Shylock not as the villain, but as the victim of the ingrained bigotry of the Venetian State.
