This is Eavesdrop, a series of conversations between artists, playwrights and audience members. Today we listen in on a chat between playwright Elise Thoron, who has translated the upcoming Local Lab reading of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, and company member Rachel Fowler, director of reading. The Merchant of Venice is part of Local Lab 2017: New Play Festival, presented at Dairy Arts Center from March 17-19, 2017.
