The Merchant of Venice, with its celebrated and moving passages, remains one of Shakespeare’s most beautiful plays.

Depending on whom you ask, it also remains one of his most repulsive.
Was Shakespeare being anti-Semitic, or was he merely exploring anti-Semitism?

Things are not always what they seem.

Characters include: -

Shylock - A Jewish moneylender in Venice

Portia - A wealthy heiress from Belmont.

Antonio - The merchant whose love for his friend Bassanio prompts him to sign Shylock’s contract and almost lose his life.

Bassanio - A gentleman of Venice, and a kinsman and dear friend to Antonio.

Gratiano - A friend of Bassanio’s who accompanies him to Belmont

Jessica - Although she is Shylock’s daughter, Jessica hates life in her father’s house, and elopes with the young Christian gentleman, Lorenzo.
And more

Gay White and Angela Healy present a cabaret with a difference at the Ice Factory this December for two nights only.

Full of fun and laughter with a smattering of Christmas tunes the evening will include mate- rial old and new. The auditorium will be trans- formed into a cabaret setting with tables each seating up to four people and our very own “Elf Service” will be on hand so you don't even need to go to the bar to get a drink.

Tickets are £10 and include mulled wine, mince pies and tidbits to help to get you in the festive spirit. Get yours from the box office or online at teignmouthplayers.com.

Please note that due to the different layout beIng adopted, there will only be forty seats available for each performance.

Friday’s Child is from the pen of local playwright Austin Hawkins. Austin’s one act plays have won a clutch of awards in recent years in theatre festivals for actors, directors and for his original scripts, including ‘Runner Up’ in a National play writing competition.

In this three act play ‘Friday’s Child‘, Alan and Mary Hurst are predictably going about their lives, he an insurance executive and magistrate, and Mary a ‘pillar of the community’, playing bridge, in the Townswomen’s Guild and doing charitable works.

Returning from the office one evening Alan has a chance encounter with a young sex worker, Sharon, and agrees to go back to her flat. Their meeting triggers a chain of unwelcome revelations as Sharon, Alan and Mary have their settled lives challenged and face a catalyst for change.
Hang on to your seats as the verbal sparks start to fly!
