"Using scenic simplicity to complex effect, this Merchant exudes elegance, but always in the service of a vision of a society that is, at its core, most inelegant. As designed by Mark Wendland (sets), Jess Goldstein (costumes), and Kenneth Posner (lighting), Venice has the look of an Edwardian London held captive by its love of lucre. A ticker-tape machine looms center stage, set off by cagelike, circular walls that separate, define and confine the inhabitants of a rigidly stratified city." -- Ben Brantly, New York Times
