| Description |
In a challenging sequel to William Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' we explore the politics of prejudice in the 20th Century and how ordinary people who never thought themselves as villains find themselves accountable for atrocities which would haunt them for life. Amongst the turmoil of post war Italy we read between the lines of Shakespeare's classic tale, examine the true nature of the characters, and ask just how politicians managed to manipulate democracy to turn a people against themselves and drive a nation apart. |
