Preston Community Library proudly presents its first in-person show since March 2020: Gareth Armstrong's awarding-winning play - "Shylock"

About this event

Shylock. A villain? A victim? Or something even more intriguing? The tragic, funny, and often unbelievable life, of fiction’s most famous Jew.

The play confronts and confounds the stereotypes through the eyes of Shylock’s only friend – Tubal, who proves a born comic storyteller.

Celebrating the richness of Shakespeare’s language and conjuring up a whole cast of characters, this dazzling, moving, and often hilarious play is a fascinating exploration of Shylock and his people.

Gareth Armstrong has toured this production of Shylock around the world to much acclaim. He has acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and also performed in and directed plays all over the country and abroad. He has recently completed readings of all the Maigret books for Audible.

What the critics say

"Armstrong is nothing short of incredible... It is an exceptional piece of theatre. Everyone should see it." The Independent on Sunday, London
"This is as good as theatre gets... It was undiluted joy and a privilege to watch." Liverpool Daily Post
"Gareth Armstrong is magnetic throughout... You need not be Jewish nor an Eng Lit expert to appreciate this: you need only be human." The List, Edinburgh *****
"It's all fascinating, a nimble analysis of the thorny, much-abused character and the great, troublesome play." The Washington Post
