Summary
The BBC presentation of the acclaimed Royal National Theatre production, directed by Trevor Nunn, adapted for television. A multi-award winner set in the 1930s with a Berlin film noir look, the production nonetheless preserves every one of Shakespeare's words. Henry Goodman won the Olivier and Critic's Circle Theatre Best Actor awards for his performance as Shylock. Nunn and his masterful team brilliantly transition the stage performance to an outstanding film that looks as though it was written for the camera. His starting point was a desire to deal with the issue of anti-Semitism: ".. I wanted to show why Shylock acts as he does. To de-villainise and dedemonise him is very important," says Nunn, calling Merchant of Venice "a masterpiece about human behavior in extremis."
