William Shakespeare would delight in the compelling, audaciously cheeky theater of Edward Hall and his award-winning company Propeller. Their adherence to a men-only policy onstage—a fact of the Bards day—along with Hall's mischievous, highly physical approach, sends up Shakespeares intricate tanglings between the sexes. Last at BAM with The Taming of the Shrew and Twelfth Night (2007 Spring Season), comedies that revel in the trials and inevitable tribulations of romantic love, Propeller returns with a new staging of The Merchant of Venice, a work that poses still-incendiary questions about truth, morality, and prejudice.
