In this modern-language retelling of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, playwright Todd Alcott creates an intense dark comedy about love, hate, race, wealth, class and duplicity. By turns hilariously funny and bitingly savage, A Pound of Flesh presents its characters as both delightful, cosmopolitan sophisticates and brutally hateful racists, creating an indelible indictment of the ruling classes.
