Everything That Never Happened

This event is a staged reading.

Whether or not you know Shakespeare or Shylock, this provocative work plays between the gaps in the classic tale of Merchant of Venice to expose the realities of Jewish history. Sarah Mantell’s time-bending story, rich with humor and heartbreak, bridges the 16th century with today and beyond. What do we lose or gain by leaving our own culture? And what sacrifices does love demand of fathers and daughters, lovers and friends?
