A case for Shylock : around the world with Shakespeare's Jew

"Gareth Armstrong felt in need of a reliable sideline ... A one-man show seemed the answer - and Shylock a good subject ..." "He has now traveled the world over with his show ... adding ever more threads to his one-man story of the Jew and the Jewish people."--Jacket
