Gareth Armstrong wrote "Shylock" in 1998 having played Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice" at Salisbury Playhouse. The solo-play is a powerful, educational, often moving distillation of Jewish history and the ways in which the controversial character of Shylock has been depicted through the ages.
Guy Masterson presented Armstrong in Edinburgh 1998 and the show went on to tour the world for a decade. In 2011, Guy Masterson took over the role, this time directed by Armstrong opening in Adelaide, thence Edinburgh, the UK and all over the US to great acclaim. The show continues to tour.
