Shakespeare Comes To Wolf Point, Sidney

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks will perform The Merchant of Venice at the park by Faith Home in Wolf Point June 26.

The Merchant of Venice

explores justice, mercy, prejudice, and the longing to belong in a divided world. As Bassanio seeks Portia’s hand and Antonio enters a dangerous bond with Shylock, the young Jessica risks everything to leave her father’s house in search of love and freedom.

Through romance and courtroom drama, Shakespeare examines the cost of exclusion and the transformative power of mercy.

“ The Merchant of Venice is one of the most complete plays in Shakespeare’s canon,” says director Kevin Asselin. “It oers so much for audiences: the young people in the play have a fascinating journey, but it’s the deeper questions that Shylock, Antonio, and Portia navigate on a truly human level that I find most compelling as a director.”

Much Ado About Nothing

will be performed on June 25 in Malta and on June 27 in Sidney.
