"All that glitters is not gold."
This was such a fun play. It was really fast-paced, and the characters were lovely.
Portia is such a Queen!!!
Though there are some things that could've been better:
1) Antonio should've given that piece of flesh😤 it is the virtuous oath, the pinky promise he should've kept. I wanted to see that gore.
2) Shylock was right.
3) Gay people! accept your truth and be together. (Portia/Nerissa and Antonio/Bassanio)
4) Lorenzo and Jessica are the best couple in the play. Their banter is amazing! #couplegoals
5) I hoped for a plot twist at the end: Portia actually tricked all her lovers with "the ring agreement," took their money, and divorced them afterward when they lost the ring. That would have been such a banger!
