Antonio and Shylock run at odds throughout the story, after Antonio borrows from Shylock, and Shylock demands his infamous “pound of flesh”. The women in this play are surprisingly strong characters, and are instrumental in resolving all the plot’s problems.

ABOUT THE PLAY:
As this wonderful play opens, an old hobo named Poppy, accompanied by his avid companion, young Davey Quinn, is telling a tall tale. It is the early 1890s and itinerant story tellers like Poppy are the voices of the prairie. Years later, Davey is discovered by a radio pitch man while he is telling stories about Poppy and Frankie, a blind girl he rescued from a cruel father. Quinn becomes famous sending his stories into the “Ethernet” through the infant industry of radio as the Voice of the Prairie. Frankie hears Davey’s stories and reenters his life as the FCC threatens them all for broadcasting without a license.
