Prepare for one of the most captivating Shakespearean productions to hit the DMV!

In a city steeped in the ills of antisemitism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia, Shakespeare’s Merchant Of Venice exposes the fissures between fairness, accountability, and justice—and who profits from them.

Tony Award nominee John Douglas Thompson (Jitney, Mare of Easttown), “one of the most compelling classical stage actors of his generation” (The New York Times), makes his STC debut as the enigmatic Shylock in this searing portrayal of society’s prejudices and the elusive nature of mercy.
