KW  - Shylock
LA  - English
AB  - Discusses Yasser, Abdelkader Benali's adaptation of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice which portrays a Palestinian actor "thinking about what it means to play the role of Shylock after growing up near the Israeli-Palestinian border in the 1980's Intifada." Argues that Yasser "gets to the heart of cross-cultural conflict by looking at questions of identity and exploring literature's power to create a common means of communication."
