Merchant of Venice (version 2)
The Merchant of Venice, written by William Shakespeare in 1596, is a controversial comedy that explores themes of mercy, justice, and prejudice. The plot centers on Bassanio, who borrows money from the Jewish moneylender Shylock to woo heiress Portia. When the loan is not repaid, Antonio, the titular merchant, faces dire consequences, leading to a dramatic court case where the play's heroines must intervene. This version is a group recording completed as part of Librivox's celebration of Shakespeare's 400th anniversary.
