| Portia, a weaIthy heiress of BeImont, is forced to set her suitors a chalIenge. The winner wiIl win her hand in marriage; the losers wiIl lose her hand and much more. In Venice, the epicentre of consumption, specuIation and debt, Bassanio borrows money from his friend Antonio to finance his attempt. Antonio, in turn, takes out a loan from the moneyIender Shylock. The loan wiIl be repaid when Antonio's ships return to the city. But if the ships fail to return, and the money cannot be repaid, Antonio wilI give to ShyIock a pound of his own fIesh. And they do fail. And ShyIock wiIl have his bond . ln some of his most highly-charged scenes, Shakespeare dramatises the competing claims of tolerance and intolerance, religious Iaw and civil society, justice and mercy; whiIe in the character of ShyIock he created one of the most memorable outsiders in aII theatre. DoubIe Olivier and Tony award winner Jonathan Pryce pIays ShyIock in his first appearance at Shakespeare's GIobe. |
