Everything That Never Happened

Boston Court Performing Arts Center
70 N. Mentor Ave. Pasadena

Everything That Never Happened uses The Merchant of Venice as a jumping off point, exposing the realities of Jewish history and drawing three-dimensional characters from the stereotypes depicted in the original Shakespeare. Mantell's fresh and time-bending story is rich with humor and heartbreak while bridging the 16th century with today and beyond. What do we lose or gain by leaving our own culture? And what sacrifices does love demand of fathers and daughters, lovers and friends? Everything That Never Happened is a play about disguise, assimilation, pomegranates, and everything Shakespeare left out.

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...Theatrical magic happens when all the elements of a production come together to form a seamless whole; when the text, direction, acting, and technical contributions feel so organically intertwined that it is hard to tell where one person's work ends, and another's begins. Everything That Never Happened at the Boston Court is intelligent, funny, and quite beautiful. It is also magic - a complete universe unto itself. Playwright Sarah B. Mantell, director Jessica Kubzansky, a gifted team of designers and technical staff, and a marvelous cast take you into an entirely reimagined world, influenced, but not defined by, The Merchant of Venice."

"...Playwright Sarah B. Mantell rights centuries of wrong done Shakespeare's Jessica, Lorenzo, and Shylock in The Theatre @ Boston Court's adventurous, challenging Everything That Never Happened. But be forewarned and forearmed. The more familiar you are with its Merchant Of Venice protagonists, the greater the rewards of Mantell's World Premiere romcom will be."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...Everything That Never Happened builds around two vibrant, likable characters: both possess humor and a strong moral sense but are compelled by emotion to abandon their best instincts and act badly. It's an intense story with universal themes: youth versus age, and the impulse to honor and duty versus the desire for a life worth living for oneself."
