£7 – £11

Book tickets for The Merchant of Venice

Double Olivier and Tony award winner Jonathan Pryce plays Shylock, one of the most memorable outsiders in all theatre, in his first appearance at Shakespeare’s Globe alongside his daughter Phoebe as Portia.

Wealthy heiress Portia is forced to set her suitors a challenge; the winner will win her hand in marriage. In Venice, the epicentre of speculation and debt, Bassanio borrows money from his friend Antonio to finance his attempt. Antonio, in turn, takes out a loan from the moneylender Shylock. But if the money cannot be repaid, Antonio will owe Shylock a pound of his own flesh…

★★★★★ “Jonathan Pryce as Shylock and his daughter, Phoebe… an inspiration. It’s a family affair – a double star turn” The Observer

★★★★★ “Jonathan Munby’s exceptionally well-told, well-played, well-paced, well-dressed revival… The Globe at its best” The Mail on Sunday

★★★★ “Jonathan Pryce is electrifyingly good… Jonathan Munby’s production really sings” Time Out
