Shylock and His Daughter

by Ari Ibn-Zahav, dramatized by Maurice Schwartz
July 26, Aug 2, 9, 16
All tickets $10

As an added offering this summer, First Folio is proud to present a special staged reading of Shylock and His Daughter. Originally written for the Yiddish Art Theater and then translated into English, this play tells the same story that Shakespeare told—only from Shylock’s perspective. This production will utilize the same cast as our mainstage production of The Merchant of Venice.

“Truly riveting–a must see!” – Jan Lisa Huttner, JUF News
