About

Naxos Audio presents a fully-dramatized production of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Bassanio desires to court the lovely Portia, but he simply cannot afford such wooing. In order to help Bassanio, Antonio, a Venetian merchant, borrows three thousand ducats from Jewish moneylender Shylock. However, Shylock has one condition upon lending Antonio the money: if the loan goes unpaid, Antonio will entitle him with one pound of the merchant's own flesh.
