Of the 961 productions we hold that opened in the 1910s and record a performance count, this is the 759th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.
No closing date. 5,632 of 13,459 productions have none, and at this distance that means the ending was never recorded rather than that the run went on.

0 of these 18 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 18 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.
What this page does not know
- No photograph of this staging. 48 of 13,459 productions hold one.
- No character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
- No recording is held for The Merchant of Venice at all.
- When it closed.
- No director named.
- No show page for The Merchant of Venice. The work is here as a title and a year, and nothing more has been gathered about it.
- Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
