Day 29: New Play Tuesday! The Merchant of Venice

Al Pacino as Shylock in 2004's Merchant of Venice
After reading Macbeth, considered an unlucky play, it's probably good luck to read The Merchant of Venice, which is considered a lucky one. In fact, some superstitious actors even believe that the so-called curse of Macbeth (bad luck befalling anyone who says the name "Macbeth" out loud when referring to the play) can be undone by immediately reciting some lines from The Merchant of Venice.
