MErcy and revenge are weighed in the balance in
this dark comedy of love and intolerance.
To help his friend win a wife, a merchant

flesh, should he fail to repay in time.
Shylock, with the full authority of the
Venetian law behind him, sharpens his knife in court. But is

the audience, must be the judge.
