Yea it could be true,pound per pound and flesh per reader digest, it might be great bar b que, while the Merchant of Venice is one of my favorite written works,and if you have a good attorney to prove your boat of goods did not sink off shore of course, then again, this is good theater for Dallas, and so enjoy it..

And I will say this one more time, this is a good play,event, drama without Alphonso Pachino, who by the way, was the Merchant, cast in the film version......until then Alexander Troup, stage/hand.
