Item Description

Two tickets to either "The Merchant of Venice" or "Shakespeare in Love" at the Seattle Shakespeare Company. Both shows are in theaters at Seattle Center (Center Theater or Cornish Playhouse), and the winner may select any available performance to attend (with sufficient notice). 

The Merchant of Venice March 20 - April 15, 2018

The wealthy heiress Portia is forced to set her suitors a challenge for her hand in marriage. In order to woo her, Bassanio finances his plan with money borrowed from his friend Antonio. All would be fine except Antonio has taken out a loan from the moneylender Shylock on the assurance that his ships will make it back to the city. They don’t, and Shylock demands repayment with a pound of Antonio’s flesh.

Shakespeare in Love May 2 - June 3, 2018

Young Will Shakespeare is in dire need of inspiration. His next play is on deadline and the only thing he’s come up with is the title: Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter. Then he meets Viola, a smart and beautiful woman who desperately wants to perform on the stage, even though it’s forbidden. Will is smitten and gets inspired to write the greatest love story the world has known.
