We open in Venice

[ceebeegee]

This weekend, Duncan suggested that Holla Holla should do The Merchant of Venice: he reminded me that Portia is a britches role. It's been forever since I've read it (college) and I've never seen it. It's a problem comedy for sure, and Shylock is such a dominant figure. I don't know the play well enough to know off the top of my head if any of the male roles can be converted to women's roles. But Portia is tempting.
