Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare | Nerissa Spills the Tea
by Felicity Burke presented by Liverpool Performing Arts Ensemble
Nerissa is an influencer and this week on her Vlog she lets us sip the scandal while she drains the drama from…The Merchant of Venice. That’s right- you will get the full intel from someone who was THERE and saw all!
This production is all about students being able to access the text, themes, and plot of The Merchant of Venice, in a fun way!
Our narrator, Nerissa spills the tea- she takes students on a journey they can understand and enjoy in this refreshing take on The Merchant of Venice. It is an incursion into the text with audience interaction. We slip in and out of the play, with major characters performing some of the most famous speeches. The information is broken down to engage the students. The audience is asked to participate in several breakout activities, including quizzes and games involving Shakespearian language, discussions of prejudice, antisemitism, and the many themes of the play. Modern music and some dance is used throughout. At the conclusion of the performance there will be a Question-and-Answer time available with cast and production members present.
