"A master at engaging students in the process of performing a
Shakespeare
scene."--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. 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.
