Merchant of Venice, The (Audio)

Synopsis: W. Moelwyn Merchant, University of Exeter, and Brian Morris, St David’s University College Wales, discuss the play. The character and dramatic presentation of Shylock form part of a wider discussion of tragic and comic elements in the play, and the speakers stress the importance of a dramatic structure by which important characters, situations and settings are placed in opposition to each other. Side 2 comprises readings by members of the Young Vic, London.
