Description

"A master at engaging students in the process of performing a Shakespearescene."?Janet Field-Pickering, head of education, Folger Shakespeare LibraryThe Merchant of Venice: The 30-Minute Shakespeare features eight scenes from this gripping classic: Shylock loans Antonio money, with the forfeit being a pound of Antonio's flesh.

Comedic mayhem ensues as two foreign princes attempt to win Portia's hand.

The climax is the courtroom scene where Portia, disguised as a lawyer, subjects Shylock to his harsh penalty.

The drama concludes with reconciliations that land us firmly back in comic territory. The edition includes a preface by Nick Newlin, containing helpful advice on presenting Shakespeare in a high school setting with novice actors, as well as an appendix with play-specific suggestions and recommendations for further resources.
