Shakespeare in the Park – Merchant of Venice 30 Apr – 25 May

About Shakespeare in the Park

Currently in its 7th year, Shakespeare in the Park is one of the most anticipated events in Singapore’s theatre calendar. Staged by The Singapore Repertory Theatre, this year sees the staging of one of Shakespeare’s most thought-provoking dramas, The Merchant of Venice.

Director, Bruce Guthrie returns to add his touch to the play after having directed previous instalments of Shakespeare in the Park, namely Twelfth Night (2012) and Othello (2013).

Synopsis

From the company that brought you Othello, Twelfth Night, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Much Ado About Nothing.

Spread a picnic blanket under the stars, uncork that bottle of wine and lose yourself in the rich world of The Merchant of Venice, where all that glisters is not gold. Join Shylock, one of Shakespeare’s most sympathetic villains, and the quick-witted Portia in their pursuit of justice and mercy.

With its lavish sets and seasoned cast, Shakespeare in the Park has become a highly anticipated event in Singapore’s cultural calender. With over 30,000 people attending Othello last year, book your tickets early in order not to miss this fabulous and affordable outdoor theatre experience.
