The merchant Antonio is approached for a loan by his dear friend Bassanio so that he may woo an heiress in another city. Antonio, cash-poor until his ships return from their trade route, in turn borrows from the moneylender Shylock, who sees in this arrangement the possibility to exact a gruesome revenge for the years of injustice he’s suffered at the hands of Antonio and the rest of the city. FULL TOUR SCHEDULE at WWW.CLEVESHAKES.ORG <http://cleveshakes.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=609d7d7137b1080f5da35…> *All performances are at 7pm.* Please bring your own chairs or blankets.
