Tracy-Ann Oberman's powerful reimagining of Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice 1936, returns to Cardiff's New Theatre next week (18-23 March).
The play moves the action to London in the Great Depression, with fascism on the rise and the city's Jewish community under existential threat.
Our review of its previous visit said: "This is a stunning adaptation, which I would urge you to see – not just as an exciting new version of a sometimes ‘problematic’ play, or as a brilliantly performed piece of theatre, but also for the light it shines on the scourge of antisemitism.
"Sadly, it’s as relevant today as it was in 1936 when it’s set and the 1590s when it was written".
