Summary
Under John Barton's direction, two members of the Royal Shakespeare Company explore Shakespeare's character Shylock from The merchant of Venice to demonstrate how Shakespeare develops a character, and the multiplicity of ways in which his characters can be understood. Given the same text, the different readings of the part demonstrate the infinite variety of Shakespeare's work.
