Night Waves [06/05/2004]
- Synopsis
- BBC Radio 3 arts series. Paul Allen is joined by Jonathan Miller and Henry Goodman to discuss The Merchant of Venice, arguably the play that has been most changed by history. Since the Holocaust the programme argues that it has become a play entirely about Shylock irrespective of the director’s intentions. It asks the question that although the play may ultimately be about ‘judgment, redemption and mercy’ how many members of an audience will be left with this impression foremost in their minds?'
