Abstract:
For an experimental production of Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” some of Shylock’s speeches were rendered in Yiddish, necessitating consideration of the play, character, and the choice of words. The essay also explores the valence of Yiddish words and accent in English-language performance today.
