Portland Actor's Ensemble performed the Merchant of Venice. This was a hard play to watch, because of all the uncomfortable Shylock parts. That stew of antisemitism is peppered with all the fun comedy aspects of the play. It's pretty uneven, and I thought the troupe did a good job managing the temperature changes of the story.
As you can see from this picture, the costumes were Italian via the "Jersey Shore."

WE saw this play recently, and I agree with you, its a bit hard to watch. Ours was set in gangster NYC. A nice setting for the show.
That's such a great pic of you two!
