By Arnold Wesker. A startling new perspective on an age-old story. Shylock's close friend, Antonio, needs a loan; but 16th-century Venetian law discriminates against Jews, and, for Shylock's own protection, Antonio persuades him to agree on a bond. They laugh as Shylock invents the absurd forfeit of a pound of flesh ... but their mockery of the law could so easily turn to tragedy.

Rana Mitter travels from Quf u, where Confucius was born, to the centre of modern political power in Beijing, witnessing how Confucius is being rehabilitated as ancient sage, contemporary business guru and tourist attraction, and how Confucianism is being promoted as a solution to the country's 21st-century dilemmas.
