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.
在每个人的掌握中, 作为失落的伊甸园可到达的形式, 每个人都来到大自然中寻找避难所。各行各业的人都有权利在这里: 富人、穷人、法国人、外国人、异性恋、一个人或有人陪、老派或时髦。森林是一个被城镇围绕的岛屿: 一个由疲惫的市民虚构的海市蜃楼。住在这个城市所遇到的困难被抛在脑后。在这里, 我们治愈, 我们玩耍, 我们开心, 我们做梦。整个季节里, 这一系列的交流都围绕着每个人所想象的乌托邦。
As a reachable form of a lost Eden within everyone's grasp, everybody comes to the Bois de Vincennes to seek refuge in Nature. People from all walks of life have the right to be here: rich, poor, french, foreign, gay, straight, alone or accompanied, old school or hip.
The Woods are an island surrounded by the towns that encircle it: a mirage dreamed-up by a fatigued city-dweller. The difficulty of living in the city is left behind. Here we heal, we play, we have fun and we dream. Throughout the seasons, the series of exchanges speak of this utopia that everyone imagines for him or herself.
