BALTHAZAR
a world premiere by Debora Threedy
February 15th – March 3rd, 2024
Studio Theatre
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center
Salt Lake City, Utah

On sale: 5/11/2023 at 10am.

Portia is a noblewoman in 16th century Venice. She wants to be a lawyer, but that profession is reserved for men. Her cousin Bellario, a doctor of law, won’t teach her. Her husband Bassanio is in serious legal trouble … and he’s in love with his best friend Antonio. Things are not going well.

What’s a girl to do?

1. Create an alter ego (enter Balthazar).
2. Trick Bellario.
3. Represent Antonio (and Bassanio) in court.

This riff on Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” is a life-and- death journey through the law, love, and gender identity.
