Free Event at Country Bookshelf: Exploring Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice"
Location:
The Country Bookshelf (28 W. Main Street Bozeman, MT)
Event Time(s):
Monday, June 8, 2026 at 6:00pmEvent Details:
Join Dr. Gretchen Minton and MSIP Associate Artistic Director Riley O'Toole as they dive into the world of The Merchant of Venice, a play of striking contrasts and profound moral tension.
At its core, this is a story about justice, mercy, and the complicated nature of human prejudice. We encounter a vibrant world of commerce and romance, but beneath its wit lies a society wrestling with questions of fairness, belonging, and the cost of intolerance. As fortunes rise and fall and loyalties are tested, the characters are forced to confront what it truly means to exercise mercy, and the complicated nature of justice without compassion.
Dr. Gretchen Minton shares her expertise and gives insight into the deeper themes in the play ahead of opening night at the MSU Duck Pond on June 10th.
Additionally, Riley O'Toole will speak to what it means to adapt a play for the unique nature of a Montana Shakespeare in the Parks tour.
This event is FREE and open to the public!
