Jan. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- It has been reported that Al Pacino, currently starring in the hit Broadway production of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, is in talks to star in the West End when the play comes to London at the end of 2011. Al Pacino 70 plays the role of Shylock a Jewish money lender who lends money to an arch rival hoping that he will default on paying back the money.  Demanding "a pound of flesh" in court for nonpayment, it is his estranged daughter who saves the day in a twist of love, conspiracy and intrigue.

Al Pacino famous for his Oscar winning roles in The Godfather trilogy has long been a lover of Shakespeare and after the sell out success of The Merchant of Venice on Broadway, his return to the London West End Stage will be much anticipated.  Many of the Broadway cast will be making their way over London later this year which following their Broadway success will sure to be a hit in the West End too!

If you cannot wait for the play to come to the West End, The Merchant of Venice will be playing at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon from 11th May to 4th October 2011.
