  • Elements Theatre Company the Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
    WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S THE MERCHANT OF VENICE PRESS KIT ELEMENTS THEATRE COMPANY ELEMENTS THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS A POUND OF FLESH: EXPLORING QUALITIES OF MERCY WHEN ENCOUNTERING “THE OTHER” A SERIES OF PERFORMANCES, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, AND WORKSHOPS INSPIRED BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S THE MERCHANT OF VENICE WELCOME TO ELEMENTS THEATRE COMPANY Sr. Danielle Dwyer, Artistic Director DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to The Merchant of Venice; A Pound of Flesh Series. The Merchant of Venice is an uncomfortable and confrontational play in practically every scene. There is no denying the hate, the prejudice, and the blatant superiority that seeps through most every character. Frank Underwood, Kevin Spacey’s character in House of Cards, has this to say: “Hate starts in your gut, deep down here, where it stirs and churns and then it rises, hate rises fast and volcanic, it erupts hot on the breath.” This would be true for many characters in this play. There is not one kind or gentle soul here, and all have joined the ranks of hate and prejudice. The actor’s work is to inhabit their character and flesh them, fully and authentically. In doing so, Shakespeare’s story once again lives and breathes in a new space to a new audience, who desires to hear his enlightening words. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” —Martin Luther King, Jr. Shakespeare most definitely brought light to a dark subject. Looking at this dark and destructive emotion through this story, facing into this ravenous element we bring to our relationships, offers us a horizon of new choices.
