about

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
The music from this production is strewn throughout the Streamed Shakespeare album. Director Roslyn Hicks wanted a less unified sound, to suit the play’s varied themes and scenery. The opening number represents the bustling, news-addicted business metropolis of Venice, which contrasts with the rural villa Belmont, where love has its kingdom and our heroine insists that the many men who come to woo her play a dangerous guessing game. That contest prompted the theme for the gameshow Wife or No Wife and a track based on the poem that one of the game’s losers finds.
