About the Show:

The 4 contracts deal with caskets, flesh, livery and rings. How does one respond to a broken deal, with justice or mercy?
Usually seen as a play about anti-Semitism, it actually presents 4 outcasts – Jew, Muslim, Hispanic and blind man – showing
the parallel of prejudice based on race, religion and disability in a multi-cultural society that’s an international trading center.
