...play is mainly about love, but it is also about hate--which brings us to Shylock. There must be at least half as many ways to play Shylock as to play Hamlet, and most of them have been tried. Max Adrian gives us an unsympathetic Shylock--bitter, gloating, sadistic. Adrian is constitutionally incapable of doing a slipshod job; and this is a distinguished performance. Morris Carnovsky's unsurpassable portrayal last summer was an extraordinarily complex one; and it is no reflection on Adrian if he cannot match it.

I wanted this to come off as a story about a charming renegade who reforms, a show with a lot of love and no hate, one that a sophisticated viewer could see with pleasure and that a child could watch with understanding." The cast also credits Da Costa-as well as Preston-for having welded the troupe into one of Broadway's happiest companies...
