Join lawyers and actors as Shylock goes to court against Portia. Our premise is that after the events depicted in The Merchant of Venice, Shylock discovers that Doctor of Laws “Balthazar” was really Portia in disguise, so neither a man nor a lawyer. In a civil lawsuit, he sues her for tortious interference with contract. The Duke of Venice, regretting the outcome of the earlier case as it damaged the city’s reputation for fairness (and thus its commercial prospects), allows Shylock’s lawsuit against Portia to proceed. Cast and participants: • Judge: Bryan H. Wildenthal • Clerk: Bill Glaser • Plaintiff’s attorney: Susan Benninghoff • Defendant’s attorney: Samuel W. Bettwy • Shylock: Josh Freeman • Antonio: Kevin Manley • Portia: Janaki Stoeckley • Playwright and Understudy: Gordon L. Gidlund The members of the audience will serve as the jury and deliver a verdict by voice vote. Related links: San Diego Shakespeare Society: website | Instagram | Facebook
