A master at engaging students in the process of performing a Shakespearescene."-Janet Field-Pickering, head of education, Folger Shakespeare Library The 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.
