Captivating Performance by ISU
by ProfessionalApplePeeler on 10/10/11ISU Center for the Performing Arts - NormalI absolutely LOVED ISU's production of "The Merchant of Venice"! The emotions from all of the actors, particularly from the actor who played Shylock, was incredible. Also none of the actors had any trouble with the language which made it appear as if they had been talking in iambic pentameter all their lives. Although the story was new and unfamiliar to me, I was quickly able to understand the story thanks to the wonderful actors who brought this play to life. I also enjoyed the twist of having the story take place during the Stock Market Crash of 1929, very clever.
