Publisher Summary
 

BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.

Love, bigotry, greed, and justice are entwined in this clear, fast-moving production, where the precision of radio gives added resonance to the powerful words of the trial scene.

Revitalised, original, and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

Review by Mercedes from Scarborough, ON, Canada | 5/15/2011

Reading this book made me fully appreciate Shakespeare's works. And at the end of it all, I could not help but pity Shylock.

Review by Nina | 5/15/2011

So I'm reading this for school and I actually like it so far. I've just finished Act IV scene 1 and I'm preforming Shylock's soliolquy in Act III on Thursday. Overall, I've liked it and can't wait to read more Shakespeare this summer!

Review by Deepti from India | 5/13/2011

It has been read and over-read for school till it has lost all its dramatic value for me. But the true fact of the matter is that Shylock is an everlasting character who will never erase himself from common memory.
