Alan Yentob travels to the ghetto in Venice with award-winning novelist Howard Jacobson as he embarks on a retelling of Shakespeare's most performed play The Merchant of Venice. Through a series of lively - often fiery - interviews they examine the charge of anti-Semitism against Shakespeare whose character Shylock remains one of the most odious and divisive fictional Jews in history.
How did the moneylender from Venice become such a useful propaganda tool in Nazi Germany? And how much of a liberty will Jacobson be taking when he uproots the action to modern-day Alderley Edge and audaciously reinterprets the infamous 'pound of flesh'?
Interviewees include Antony Sher Anthony Julius and Stephen Greenblatt.
