This is the final section of the play right to the end. As Bassanio, Gratiano, and Antonio all return home after the trial with Shylock, Portia and Nerissa decide to play one final trick on their partners. And it’s important to remember this is actually the first time Antonio—who is such close friends with Bassanio—meets Portia (as herself, not the disguised lawyer).

• DIRECTOR: Brendon Fox
• DRAMATURG: Philippa Kelly
• BASSANIO: Marcelo Tubert
• PORTIA: Amber Scales
• NERISSA: Aubrey Saverino
• ANTONIO: Ross Hellwig
• GRATIANO: Sara Mountjoy-Pepka
