Dear Friend,
PRESENTS
As we present the final play of the 2010-2011 Season,
The Merchant of Venice, and look toward next
season’s 25th anniversary celebration, it seems only
fitting to welcome a returning member of the STC
family. Ethan McSweeny first joined STC as an intern
in 1993. He later became my Assistant Director and
went on to direct his first STC mainstage production,
The Persians, in 2006. I am proud that STC has been
a part of his artistic journey and delighted that he has
taken on one of Shakespeare’s most controversial
and emotionally rich plays to close the season.
Though this is the final mainstage production of the
season, I encourage you to attend the other productions
and events taking place at our theatres this summer. STC
will present an HD broadcast of Roundabout Theatre
Company’s The Importance of Being Earnest, starring
Brian Bedford in his Tony-nominated performance as
Lady Bracknell, on June 28, followed by this season’s
final NT Live screening, Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard
on July 11. August brings Free For All, a Washington
tradition that continues with a re-staging of 2008’s Julius
Caesar, kicking off our celebration of 25 classical years.
I hope you will join me in the theatres this
summer and for next season’s exciting anniversary
celebration and performances in the fall.
My best wishes for a wonderful summer,
Michael Kahn

The Two Faces of Capital
by Drew Lichtenberg
During the Renaissance, the Republic of
Venice was known not only for liberty,
social harmony and peace, but also for
duplicity, guile and treachery. Early
20th-century New York, in which this
production of The Merchant of Venice is set,
possessed a similar duality. It was a world
of opportunity, promising the American
Dream to each individual, yet it possessed
an underworld filled with corruption
and menace. This duality, the promise
of opportunity and the threat of loss of
self, is the Janus-faced effect a capitalist
economy has upon citizens of the world—
whether it be the old world of Renaissance
Venice or the new world of New York.
Indeed, The Merchant of Venice, one of the
earliest of Shakespeare’s plays to focus
on class, fuses together old and new
world problems. Ethnic and religious
backgrounds, descended from medieval
archetype, fix the identities of the play’s
characters in place, while the play’s
economic backdrop suggests the mutable
modern self. Speculative financial
bubbles can make or remake a citizen
6
in an instant, and the play opens with
Antonio in just this situation: his fortune
is out at sea and could crash upon the
waves or bring an immense return.
As W.H. Auden wrote, The Merchant of
Venice depicts “a newborn bourgeois
capitalist society, no longer feudal, not
yet industrial.” The play is peopled with
aesthetes and acquisitive souls, and often
the currency they end up dealing in—the
engine for the play’s plot—is people. The
large-hearted Antonio, for example, stakes
his fortune on his beloved Bassanio; the
charming-but-poor Bassanio, in turn,
sets his sights on the wealthy Belmont
heiress Portia as his meal ticket; the
Jewish moneylender Shylock ends up
claiming Antonio’s body as material
collateral on a loan; and the similarly
over-zealous Lorenzo steals away Jessica
(commodified as a rich man’s daughter)
against her father Shylock’s wishes. In no
other of Shakespeare’s plays is the word
“love” said so frequently, yet it is unclear
precisely when, or if, these characters
are capable of actually falling in love.
“The Venetians are fashionably
frivolous,” wrote Auden, “and like all
frivolous people, they’re a little sad.”
This strange sadness pervaded Jazz Age
New York, as the 1920s were bookended
by financial crises and characterized
by intense dynamism. Home to more
than 7 million people, New York at the
time was the most populous city in
the world. Though its gaze was fixed
squarely on the future, it was also a city
of internecine strife and turf wars.
Downtown, the Jewish and Italian
ghettoes abutted each other, along with
those of numerous other ethnic groups
from southern and eastern Europe. Most
immigrants were strivers and comers,
dead set on achieving the American
Dream. Prohibition gave rise to thousands
of speakeasies and bootleggers in the
city. It also gave a leg up to organized
crime, notably in the form of gangs
such as the Five-Pointers, a multi-ethnic
group led by Italians, and the Eastman
Gang, comprised mainly of Jews. Arnold
Rothstein, the legendary Jewish gangster,
gambler and racketeer, known as the
inspiration for Nathan Detroit in the
musical Guys and Dolls, was responsible
for the fixing of the World Series in
1919, leading to the Black Sox scandal.
The most famous scene in The Merchant
of Venice, and one of the strangest, is the
trial—really more of an arbitration—that
doesn’t follow the format of any known
court of law. Much as in his later legal
drama, Measure for Measure, Shakespeare
uses the occasion to launch into a
philosophical agon over the virtues
of justice in the abstract versus its
consequences in material fact—and over
the vexed question of the Jew in the
abstract versus the Jewish person as a
living, breathing, suffering human being.
But the manner in which the Duke
decides on his verdict is surprisingly
swift. Shakespeare may have been
drawing from historical precedent, since
Venice was a constitutional Republic
in which the Doge (or “Duke”) was
vested with representational power by
a senate comprised of patrician nobles
and a select group of free citizens who
held the political power to call their
Duke to petition. Similarly, in 1920s
New York, the still-powerful political
machine of Tammany Hall had risen
to power through similar quasi-legal
arbitrations of New York’s immigrant
and ethnic disputes. Either way, it seems
clear in both time periods and in the
play that personal stakes in capital are
impossible to separate from blind justice.
These historical and contextual facts may
help to provide a new lens for seeing
The Merchant of Venice. It is a play which
remains challenging despite, or perhaps
because of, its popularity through the
ages. Though long overshadowed by the
tragic subplot of Shylock, a character
who comes to dominate the center of the
play, much of The Merchant of Venice in fact
lives in the realm of social comedy. Yet
it is a strange kind of comedy. Its tone
is complex, shifting between comic and
tragic registers, and its language is also
a collision of opposites, by turns Biblical
and legalistic. The play’s unprecedented
mixture of social content within a
comic frame, which reaches beyond the
specific figure of Shylock to encompass
a panorama of social inquiry, explains
both the play’s continuing popularity,
and its controversial reputation.
Drew Lichtenberg will join STC as Literary
Associate in July. He has previously served
as the Associate Dramaturg at Baltimore
Centerstage and holds a master's degree
in Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism
from the Yale School of Drama.

Synopsis
Bassanio, a young Italian, asks his older friend Antonio to lend him 3,000 ducats to help
him court Portia, a wealthy heiress. In nearby Belmont, Portia and her assistant Nerissa
discuss Portia’s many suitors, who must pass a test devised by Portia’s late father: they
must choose from among caskets of gold, silver and lead to find the portrait of Portia that
is hidden in one of them and prove themselves worthy of Portia's hand in marriage.
Antonio asks the Jewish moneylender Shylock to lend him the 3,000 ducats for Bassanio,
because Antonio’s assets are currently tied up in trading ventures. Although Shylock resents
how Antonio has treated him in the past, he agrees to lend him the money under the
stipulation that should Antonio be unable to repay the loan by the appointed day, Shylock
will be entitled to a pound of his flesh.
Bassanio meets up with his friends Lorenzo, Gratiano, Salerio and Solanio. Lorenzo tells
them about his plan to elope with Shylock’s daughter Jessica. After Shylock leaves his
house, the young men arrive in disguise to help Jessica escape (along with a box of
Shylock’s money and jewels). Meanwhile, back in Belmont, two suitors pick the gold and
the silver caskets, which prove to be the wrong ones.
Salerio informs Solanio that one of Antonio’s ships has been wrecked. They encounter
Shylock, who is enraged at the theft of his daughter and his money, and vows to have
his pound of flesh. In Belmont, Bassanio chooses the lead casket, which contains Portia’s
portrait. Portia gives Bassanio a ring, which she tells him he must never take off. The
couple is congratulated by Gratiano and Nerissa, who reveal that they too are engaged.
Jessica, Lorenzo and Salerio arrive to inform Bassanio that the shipwreck has left Antonio
destitute, and that his bond to Shylock is forfeit. Portia tells Bassanio that she will pay his
friend’s debt and that he should hurry to Antonio. After Bassanio leaves, Portia tells Nerissa
that they will disguise themselves as men and follow him.
The Duke urges Shylock to be merciful. Bassanio implores him to accept double the
amount of the loan, but Shylock refuses, maintaining that he wants only the pound of flesh
specified in the bond. Portia and Nerissa enter disguised as lawyer and clerk; Shylock and
Antonio agree to abide by the lawyer's decision. Portia concludes that the bond is forfeit,
but as Shylock prepares to collect, she points out that he is legally bound to take exactly
one pound of Antonio's flesh, and not a drop of blood. Portia then accuses Shylock of
conspiring against the life of a citizen. The Duke concludes that Shylock may live if he gives
half of his assets to Antonio in trust, and all of his wealth to Jessica and Lorenzo upon
Shylock’s death. Finally, Antonio demands that Shylock convert to Christianity. Defeated,
Shylock agrees to these conditions and leaves the courtroom. Pressed by Bassanio and
Antonio to accept some reward for her services, Portia asks that Bassanio give her the
ring which she had given him as a love-pledge. Bassanio refuses, but after Portia departs,
Antonio urges Bassanio to give the young lawyer the ring. Gratiano runs after Portia to
deliver it, and also gives Nerissa his own ring.
Portia and Nerissa return to Belmont. After the reunited couples greet each other, Portia
and Nerissa accuse their husbands of giving their rings away to other women. The men
protest, but the women quickly reveal the true identity of the lawyer who saved Antonio.

About the Playwright
William Shakespeare
No man’s life has been the subject of more speculation
than William Shakespeare’s. While Shakespearean scholars
have dedicated their lives to the search for evidence, the
truth is that no one really knows what the truth is. Scholars
agree that a William Shakespeare was baptized at Stratfordupon-Avon on April 26, 1564. Tradition holds that he was
born three days earlier, on April 23—the same date on
which, 52 years later, he was recorded to have died. On
November 27, 1582, a marriage license was granted to
18-year-old William and 26-year-old Anne Hathaway. A
daughter, Susanna, was born to the couple six months later.
We know that twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born soon
after and were baptized. What we do not know is how the young Shakespeare came to
travel to London and how he first came to the stage. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear
that in the years between 1582 and 1592 someone calling himself William Shakespeare
became involved in the London theatre scene and was a principal actor with one of several
repertory companies.
By 1592 Shakespeare had become prominent enough as a playwright to engender
professional jealousy. A rival playwright, Robert Greene, wrote snidely of an “upstart crow,
beautified with our feathers, that with his tiger’s heart wrapped in a player’s hide supposes
he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you, and being an absolute
Johannes-factotum is in his own conceit the only Shakescene in a country.” In the years
between 1591 and 1593, the theatres of London were temporarily shut down due to an
outbreak of plague; Shakespeare turned his considerable talents to sonnet writing and
acquired a patron, the young Lord Southampton, to whom two of his poems, Venus and
Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, are dedicated.
In 1594 Shakespeare was listed as a stockholder in the Lord Chamberlain’s Men; he was a
member of this company for the rest of his career, which lasted until approximately 1611.
When James I came to the throne in 1603, he issued a royal license to Shakespeare and
his fellow players, inviting them to call themselves The King’s Men. The King’s Men leased
the Blackfriar’s Theatre in London in 1608. This theatre, which had artificial lighting and was
probably heated, served as their winter playhouse. The famous Globe Theatre was their
summer performance space.
In the years since Shakespeare’s death, he had fallen to the depths of obscurity only to be
resurrected as the greatest writer of English literature and drama. In the 1800s, his plays
were so popular that many refused to believe that an actor from Stratford had written
them. To this day some believe that Sir Francis Bacon was the real author of the plays;
others argue that Edward DeVere, the Earl of Oxford, was the man. Still others contend
that Sir Walter Raleigh or Christopher Marlowe penned the lines attributed to Shakespeare.
Whether the plays were written by Shakespeare the man or Shakespeare the myth, it is
clear that no other playwright has made such a significant and lasting contribution to the
English language.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
David Ives’s saucy and
sensational play pits
actress against playwright
in a virtuosic display of
seduction, cruelty, and
gamesmanship. Inspired
by Leopold von SacherMasoch’s notorious erotic
novel, Venus in Fur is a
crackling exploration of
desire and control.
Shakespeare Theatre Company
In his 24th season with the Shakespeare Theatre
Company, Artistic Director Michael Kahn, together with
the Company’s artists, staff and Board of Trustees,
continues to fulfill the Company’s ambition to become
the country’s leading force in the presentation and
preservation of classic theatre. The Shakespeare
Theatre Company enjoys national and international
renown as “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare
company” (The Wall Street Journal) producing “a
repertory of classics that no New York theatre of similar
size and scale can match” (The New York Times). The
Company’s noted company of classical actors regularly
includes such distinguished guest artists as Jane
Alexander, Elizabeth Ashley, Avery Brooks, Kathleen
Chalfant, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Keir Dullea, Jonathan
Hadary, Harry Hamlin, Hal Holbrook, Tom Hulce, Stacy
Keach, Sabrina LeBeauf, Jean LeClerc, Judith Light,
Victor Love, Marsha Mason, Kelly McGillis, Patrick Page,
Jean Stapleton, Patrick Stewart, Richard Thomas, Joan
van Ark, Geraint Wyn Davies and Karen Ziemba.
The 2010–2011 Season features three plays by
Shakespeare: All’s Well That Ends Well, Cymbeline and
The Merchant of Venice. It also includes the glittering
musical Candide, Harold Pinter’s Old Times and Oscar
Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. We continue to enjoy the
tremendous versatility of Sidney Harman Hall, which
plays host to a variety of art forms. VelocityDC—our
second annual showcase for dance–returned in
October, along with the second season of NT Live, a
series of performances broadcast in HD from London’s
National Theatre. Live performances include The Great
Game: Afghanistan, one of the most exciting works of
theatre to come out of London in recent years, and
Black Watch.
Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All
Started in 1991 to engage new and diverse audiences,
the Free For All has presented free Shakespeare to
approximately 575,000 area residents. Its contribution
to the community has been recognized with both The
Washington Post Distinguished Service Award and the
Public Humanities Award from the Humanities Council
of Washington, D.C. The move to Sidney Harman
Hall increased the Metro-accessibility of the event,
prevents weather-related cancellations and allows the
Shakespeare Theatre Company to maintain the artistic
integrity of Free For All productions thanks to the
state-of-the-art capabilities of Sidney Harman Hall. The
change in venues also allows the Company to host a
variety of family-friendly events to coincide with Free
For All performances. For additional information on the
change, please visit ShakespeareTheatre.org.
Education
Consistent with the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s
central mission—to be the leading force in producing
and preserving the highest quality classic theatre—
the Education Department is positioned as both a
26
local and national resource. We strive to deepen the
understanding of, appreciation of and connection
to classic theatre in diverse learners of all ages
through accessible programs that celebrate multiple
perspectives. The education programs of STC challenge
all learners to explore the ideas, emotions and
principles contained in classic texts and to discover the
correlations between classic theatre and our modern
perceptions. We seek to fulfill this mission through
strengthening our collaborations with schools and
other organizations locally and nationally, engaging
in scholarly dialogue with community and audience
members and increasing our use of technology. Text
Alive!, a curriculum enrichment program, works with
public school teachers in D.C., Virginia and Maryland
to make Shakespeare and his works accessible
to young audiences. ShakesPEERS, a community
outreach initiative, provides a nurturing environment
during non-school hours for young people from the
D.C. public schools to explore their creative voices
through a foundation of collaboration, craftsmanship,
citizenship and community. With its broad range
of programs—including Classics in the Classroom,
Students for Shakespeare, Windows, Master Acting
Classes, Professional Internships, SHAKESPEARIENCE,
Re:ACT and Theatre History Initiative—the Company’s
Education Department is an innovative and creative
community resource.
Academy for Classical Acting
Designed for working actors, midstream in their
careers, the Academy for Classical Acting is a one-year
immersion program with an exceptional number of
contact hours between students and professional
faculty. Under the guidance of Michael Kahn and
with an MFA degree accredited through The George
Washington University, the ACA teaches actors how to
integrate the emotional, physical and imaginative life
of a role with the technical skills needed to express
to the fullest Shakespeare’s dramatic texts as well as
many other classical playwrights. During 11 months of
intensive study, ACA training includes voice, speech,
acting, text, mask, Alexander Technique, movement,
clown and stage combat. Since 2001, the ACA has
graduated more than 100 actors who are now
performing on stages in New York, Washington, D.C.
and across the country.
Annual Support
Donors make a difference. Ticket revenue and other
earned income account for just over 60 percent of
the Company’s $17 million operating budget. It is only
with the ongoing generous support of more than 300
corporations, foundations and public agencies—along
with more than 3,000 individuals—that the Company
can fulfill its mission as the nation’s leading force in
producing and preserving classical theatre.

of our language and the common good of our community, magic happens on our stage. They make
possible what is cherished by our 180,000 audience members.

Ensure the future of
classical theatre in America.
“My experience at The Academy for Classical Acting
was nothing short of transformational. Since
graduation, I have been offered four professional
contracts with solid regional theatre companies,
including the Shakespeare Theatre Company itself.”
Brit Herring, Class of 2009
The Emerging Classical Artists Fund
Your tax-deductible gift to the Emerging Classical Artists Fund provides
scholarship support to talented students in the Academy for Classical
Acting (ACA), the Shakespeare Theatre Company's one-year intensive MFA
program at The George Washington University.
Under the guidance of STC Artistic Director Michael Kahn, the ACA
trains actors to master the complexities of Shakespeare and other
classical playwrights. Your generosity will make an enormous impact
now, and on stages here and across the nation for years to come.
To make a gift in support of an ACA student,
please contact Karri Brady of the Shakespeare Theatre
Company at 202.608.6352 or Brent Parrish of
The George Washington University at 202.994.7132.
