  • "SUMMARY: 'The Royal National Theatre production stars Henry Goodman as Shylock, the money-lending Jew who famously demands "a pound of flesh" in payment for a forfeited loan. Goodman's performance in the 1999 stage version won the Olivier Award for Best Actor, London's equivalent to Broadway's Tony Award. Trevor Nunn, director of the National Theatre, won the best-director Olivier for his daring update of the play to early 1930s Venice.' http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/merchant/"

  • "Television adaptation of the stage production, set in the early 1930s. Shylock loans money to a man he despises, the merchant Antonio, only if a pound of Antonio's flesh will be due, in a court of law, upon default. Antonio borrows the money so that his friend Bessanio can travel to woo the woman he loves, Portia, whose freedom to marry is bound up in a fairy-tale decree of her father's."@en
  • "Venetië, 1596. De verbitterde schurk Shylock koestert een diepe haat jegens de christenen, met name tegenover de koopman Antonio. Hij grijpt zijn kans wanneer Antonio's vriend Bassanio om geld verlegen zit."

  • "Antonio, a successful but cash-poor merchant, approaches Shylock, a wealthy moneylender, for a loan to help his young friend Bassanio woo the fair Portia. Despite being longtime enemies, Shylock grants the request, but demands one pound of Antonio's flesh if the debt is not repaid on time. When Antonio defaults on the loan, Shylock seeks what is legally his, but soon learns that those to whom evil is done, do evil in return."@en
  • "Innovatively reframed in the 1930s, William Shakespeare's immortal story of love and revenge comes to life ... under the guidance of Trevor Nunn. Impoverished noble Bassanio intends to marry beautiful heiress Portia, but needs to borrow money from his friend, the wealthy Antonio. Unfortunately, Antonio's assets are tied up, forcing him to seek a loan from Shylock, who demands a pound of flesh if the sum is not repaid on time. A shocking twist of fate forces all four players into a high stakes match of wits and willpower, with Portia donning the disguise of a male lawyer in the powerhouse finale."@en
  • "Set in the dark and dangerous world of shady dealing and grasping greed where human life is gambled for material gain. Shakespeare's Shylock is both the stereotypical Jewish money-lender and a moving portrayal of the humiliation wrought by bigotry and prejudice. Counterpointing Shylock's cautious prudence is Bassanio's casual attitude to human and financial resources. Starring Bob Peck, Paul McGann and Hadyn Gwynne."
