ANOTHER NOVEL PRODUCTION CONCEPT FOR SHAKESPEARE.

ANOTHER NOVEL PRODUCTION CONCEPT FOR SHAKESPEARE. I posted here on a director’s concept of Prospero as a pizza chef who’s lost his position. The Onion has a report on another novel concept. To quote the director: I know when most people hear The Merchant Of Venice, they think 1960s Las Vegas, a high-powered Manhattan stock brokerage, or an 18th-century Georgia slave plantation, but I think it’s high time to shake things up a bit. The great thing about Shakespeare is that the themes in his plays are so universal that they can be adapted to just about any time and place.” The novel setting he has chosen: 16th century Venice.
