Love, debt and lawyers - what could pssibly go wrong?Verity is a modern rom/com drama inspired by William Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Set on the east coast of Australia – the Gold Coast, Sydney and Brisbane – the film romps through modern finance and traverses the law courts - and reveals the vagaries of both. It’s no longer whether Shylock the Jewish moneylender is the villain, Verity inverts central elements of the Merchant while preserving and making relevant today its essential conflicts and ambiguities, even allowing hero Verity to test her lover by thoroughly modern criteria. They say the Merchant has everything, neither tragedy, comedy nor history. Verity has it all today
