Irvine: The Merchant of Venice (Annotated), or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad

UCI will host a free performance of The Merchant of Venice (Annotated), or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad, a theatre dybbuk production written and directed by Aaron Henne and developed with the ensemble.

What can a play from sixteenth century England tell us about how antisemitism and other prejudicial beliefs operate in our world today? What perceived truths does a play reveal about the society in which it was created, and what ideas within that society does it reinforce?

theatre dybbuk will share selections from their production and lead a discussion.

Free and open to the public; seating is limited.
