Everything That Never Happened | February 13th – March 20th at Baltimore Center Stage

Do you really know the characters from The Merchant of Venice? What if Shakespeare got it all wrong? Whether you love Shakespeare or detest Shylock, this story lives between The Merchant of Venice and the realities of Jewish history. Jessica and Lorenzo are in love, but to be together they must plan an escape from her father’s house, the Venetian ghetto, and her entire culture. EVERYTHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED is about disguise, romantic intrigue, and the terrible price we must sometimes pay to be free.

Tickets start at $39. Use code AF10 for an extra $10 off performances through February 20.
