Reviewed on : 2002-11-04 14:15:53 | Adapted Merchant in 1701 as The Jew of Venice, probably alluding to Shakespeare's contemporary playwright Marlowe's similar drama The Jew of Malta. In Granville's production, Shylock "provoked laughter with his absurd miserliness, in a characterization more akin to the commedia dell'arte's Pantalone" (Rebecca Brown, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust).
