Shakespeare Dallas Book Club:The Merchant of Venice

From Tue 19 May 2020 to Tue 16 June 2020
Ended

Shakespeare Dallas has launched a new opportunity for our audiences to meet and discuss the plays being performed in our season. Ever wonder how an acting company prepares to stage a Shakespeare play? What method of text analysis and discussion take place in the rehearsal hall to allow an actor to perform a Shakespearean role to the best of their ability? If you missed out on our previous Book Clubs, you are invited to experience that process at our Book Club for The Merchant of Venice ! Led by Program Associate Meagan Harris and actor/scholar T.A. Taylor, Book Club gatherings are comfortable, fun and promise great discussions. The Book Club will meet for four sessions to read and discuss the upcoming play, provide a behind the scenes look at the rehearsal process, and receive an invitation to exclusive closed rehearsal s . Book Club: The Merchant of Venice When a merchant defaults on a loan from a moneylender, it is more than money that will be demanded from him. Considered one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies, The Merchant of Venice remains a searing exploration of prejudice and the power of mercy. May 19, 2020 May 26, 2020 June 2, 2020 June 16, 2020 (Invited Dress Rehearsal) Cost: $1 65 for members, $1 95 for non-members Book club participants will receive a copy of the unabridged Folger edition of The Merchant of Venice , a copy of the abridged script the acting company will use during the rehearsal process, a tour of the rehearsal facility, and an invitation to an exclusive dress rehearsal.
