Director Simon Goodwin, who specializes in modern adaptations of Shakespeare, after directing the critically acclaimed Twelfth Night, Anthony and Cleopatra, revived this classic and created a brisk and sincere modern love tragedy in 90 minutes, in which desires, dreams and destinies collide.

Director: Polly Findlay
Starring: Markhamm Jamil Kuli Makram J. Khoury / Jamie Ballard / Patsy Ferran
Duration: 164 minutes
Does The Merchant of Venice look like a modern work? When you see a group of actors in contemporary costumes on stage, it's as if human nature hasn't changed in the last 400 years. This edition of the remake director Polly Findlay is one of the best young British directors, and in recent years, he has created Christopher Ecclestone's "Macbeth" in the long-established and innovative Royal Shakespeare Company in Shakespeare's hometown, which also has remarkable innovations. Although the story of "The Merchant of Venice" is already familiar, Findlay still sets up more complex relationships and character motivations for Portia, Antonio, and Bassanio, injecting a contemporary context; the minimalist design brought by the famous German stage designer Johannes Schutz lightly elevates the background of the era; and the live singing of children's voices adds a sense of weight.
