Merchant of Venice, The

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.
