“BASH’d has done what far too many Shakespeare productions never do. It has made us see a famous play in an entirely new light.” TY Stage Door for this excellent, thoughtful review of @shakesbashd.bsky.social THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. Proud to have been a part of it. www.stage-door.com/3/Reviews/En...

“Under Nish-Lapidus’ careful direction, like the three caskets…, the happy, close-knit characters carry something wildly different from their appearances inside them, a viciousness toward the outsider that feels painfully relevant.” TY @intermissionmag.bsky.social @shakesbashd.bsky.social
REVIEW: How Shakespeare BASH’d transformed The Merchant of Venice into a tense, layered tragedy

“The recently closed production sensitively explored the issues raised in Playing Shylock without purporting to offer any answers.”

Review: This 'Merchant of Venice' feels like a tragedy
This Shakespeare BASH’d production is a gem of a reimagining that explores the issues raised in Playing Shylock without offering answers.

Yes, ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is a problematic, antisemitic play — this marvellous Toronto version shows the rewards of staging it
Julia Nish-Lapidus’s production for Shakespeare BASH’d shows the artistic rewards of staging this problematic play.
