《The Merchants of Venice》 returns to audiences
two years after its premiere. This work
reinterprets Shakespeare's famous comedy 〈The
Merchant of Venice〉 as a modern changgeuk,
blending Western classics with Korean pansori to
evoke universal empathy, and portraying the hope
created through the communal solidarity and the
power of love. Directed by Lee Sung-youl, with a
script by Kim Eun-seong, pansori composition by
Han Seung-seok, and composed by Won Il, this
grand changgeuk is a collaboration of top talents
in each field alongside the National Changgeuk
Company of Korea, featuring the exhilarating
sound and refreshing humor delivered by the cast
with the stunning stage aesthetics.
