About this listen

Fat & Greasy brings you act two of The Merchant of Venice, in which Shylock's daughter Jessica wants to elope with her love Lorenzo and not be Jewish anymore, so she leaves while robbing Shylock blind. Meanwhile, Portia is still pretty racist, but good news! Her very white true love Bassanio shows up to play her father's dumb casket game. It's a comedy! Kind of? Just don't call it a dark comedy, because Portia wouldn't like it.
