In Venice, the epicentre of consumption, speculation and debt, Bassanio borrows money from his friend Antonio to finance his attempt to win the hand of Portia, a wealthy heiress. Antonio, in turn, takes out a loan from the moneylender Shylock. The loan will be repaid when Antonio’s ships return to the city. But if they should fail, and the money cannot be repaid, Antonio shall give to Shylock a pound of his own flesh. And they do fail. And Shylock will have his ‘bond’. Starring Jonathan Pryce as Shylock, one of the most memorable outsiders in all theatres, and Rachel Pickup as Portia, this new production of Shakespeare's play premiered at Shakespeare’s Globe in April 2015, dramatizes competing claims of tolerance and intolerance, religious law and civil society, justice and mercy.
