Due to phenomenal demand, The Merchant of Venice 1936 is returning to London for four weeks only prior to a UK tour.

Ambition, power and political unrest explode onto the stage in The Merchant of Venice 1936, returning to London’s West End due to phenomenal demand. Starring Tracy-Ann Oberman (EastEnders, Doctor Who) as Shylock, Shakespeare’s classic is transported to 1930s Britain in this "striking and impactful" (Guardian) new production that "makes theatre history" (The Telegraph). It is adapted by Brigid Larmour and Tracy‑Ann Oberman.

Tensions in London’s East End are rising and Shylock, a resilient single mother and hard-working businesswoman, is desperate to protect her daughter’s future. When the charismatic merchant Antonio comes to her for a loan, a high-stakes deal is struck. Will Shylock take her revenge, and who will pay the ultimate price?

Don’t miss this unforgettable, electrifying new production of The Merchant of Venice, a "fascinating and timely" (Daily Mail) reminder of a key moment in British history.
