Description

Bassanio, a young Venetian of noble rank, wishes to woo the beautiful and wealthy heiress Portia of Belmont. Having squandered his estate, he needs 3,000 ducats to subsidise his expenditures as a suitor. Bassanio approaches his friend Antonio, a wealthy merchant of Venice who has previously and repeatedly bailed him out.

Author

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) remains the centre of English-language drama: poet, player, and shareholder of the Globe. Tragedy, comedy, and history still turn on his lines. Interactive Media publishes the plays as reading and listening editions for a worldwide audience.
