The Jew of Venice: A Play in Five Acts

by Ferdinand Dugue

This forgotten masterpiece of French drama is a reworking of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice--from the point-of-view of Shylock. Ferdinand Dugu? succeeds in making the Venetian money-lender entirely believable--embittered, mercenary, tragic, and ultimately Jewish. One of the best modern adaptations of the Bard ever written.
