SHAKESPEARE’S
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
Click here to read the review in which he celebrates Quintessence and our first attempt at repertory theater by saying: “The two [productions] compose an example of true repertory, with the same casts – by a company still in its infancy but far beyond that in its current work.”
