'The Merchant of Venice' is one of Shakespeare's most modern plays," Reel said, "its tone and presentation of some truly flawed characters could find a place on the television dial next to ‘Mad Men' and ‘Breaking Bad'. It's a world where racism and anti-semitism are common place and push a man to the point of rage and desperation. I'm thrilled to be able to work on this with Jack Young and see what buttons get pushed in this day and age."
