The malevolent Shylock, as portrayed by actor Kenneth Ruta, will once more seek his pound of flesh, this time on the stage of the Lakewood Civic Auditorium. Shylock, with knife in hand, stands ready to cut a pound of flesh from Antonio's breast.
Dialogue
Shylock: "The pound of flesh which I demand of him
Is dearly bought. 'Tis mine, and I will have it.
If you deny me, fie upon your law!
There is no force in the decrees of Venice." (IV.i. 99-102)
