Are the prejudices of yesteryear still worth rehearsing today? The esteemed Jewish-Canadian character actor Saul Rubinek stars in Mark Leiren-Young's philosophical metatheatrical solo show, in which an actor cast as the avaricious and bloodthirsty Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice reflects on his situation after a perfomance of the play is canceled midway through. Leiren-Young's script has been tailored to reflect Rubinek's own experience. Martin Kinch directs this NYC premiere, which follows a successful run in Toronto last year.
