ABOUT MERCHANT ON
VENICE
In Shishir Kurup's Merchant on Venice, Venice, Italy intersects with L.A.'s Venice Boulevard in a wickedly
funny, wildly inventive and politically provocative re-imagining of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. Written in iambic pentameter
and
vividly colored by Indian, American and Latino pop references, playwright Kurup transforms Shakespeare's original by injecting the story
with
Bollywood musical numbers, L.A. Punk, Hindu-Muslim tensions, and a distinctly American landscape.
