Introduction To Shakespeare Series 2007

FLIER ETNY ESL PLAYS 2007 (PDF) [New!]


The Merchant of Venice

Illustration By Kinuko Y Craft

For ESL and BE student

A rare opportunity to see Shakespeare's great  play about Shylock, the Jewish moneylender, and his arch enemy Antonio.  In ETNY Theater's unique format, the students have the chance to participate after each act.  Imagine this: the actors freeze, the Presenter enters and engages the audience in conversation about the play's characters and themes.  This gives the students time to think about what they have seen, to express their ideas, and to remain active throughout the performance.  The play continues this way act by act.  The Merchant of Venice has been shortened somewhat, but Shakespeare's language remains intact.

Adapted for intermediate to advanced language learners and high school students.  A great challenge! Materials for students are at Lesson Plans.

Three performances scheduled.  Additional morning performances may be added.

Wednesday, March 14 at 6:30; Thursday, March 15 at 6:30; Saturday, Mach 31 at 3 pm.

at WINGS THEATRE 154 Christopher Street ,NYC
