Hi Everyone,
We are fast approaching the end of MoV, and last week we watched and read the climactic courtroom scene. Shylock has the power of the law fully behind him, but it is his determination to stick to the letter of the law which is his undoing.

It's a powerful scene, with drama, strong emotions and lots of colour throughout.
