He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. About the AuthorWilliam Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. Plays were not prized as literature at the time, and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
In Shakespeare's most controversial play, the opposing values of justice and mercy must be resolved. Julian Rhind-Tutt is Bassanio, and Bill Nighy is Antonio. The golden world of Portias Belmont calls forth some of Shakespeare's most lyrical love poetry. But the dark shadow of Shylock is never far from the heart of this brilliant comedy as it moves toward its courtroom climax in which the opposing values of justice and mercy must be resolved.. Portia is played by Hadyn Gwynne and Shylock by Trevor Peacock. He borrows the sum needed from the cruel Shylock, but there will be a dreadful penalty if the loan is not repaid.

Perfect solution for our family this year. We normally assign roles and read one or two Shakespeare plays aloud a year. Our family enjoys this way of reading his plays. But this year, our time commitment out of the home was not allowing me the time to make this happen. Cindy Rollins of the Ordo Amoris blog highly recommended the Arkangel recordings so I ordered. Am I glad I did! We have listened to other recordings and were not pleased w. Great for teaching this play As anyone who teaches Shakespeare knows, students often have a difficult time understanding the language of his plays. I have found that using audio versions of his plays in my classroom has really helped my students' comprehension. This is a great version of this play and my classes also got a kick out of the musical interludes.. Up The Stairs said Excellent!. If you are teaching Shakespeare and you want a good cd to liven up the readings in your class, this will work well. In fact, the entire series by this organization seems to be very good. I own Macbeth, MoV, and Hamlet, and all of them are very good. They are excellent supplements to our class readings.
